Sigh.

I always wonder why people pay money to buy case insensitive filesystems (MacOS is not free, is it?).

More mysterious is that there apparently are peole who are paid to produce such systems (Apple has paid employees to work on MacOS, doesn't it?).

The worst of all this is that I have to be careful not to break things on such a system, and take a patch like this (admittedly, you did the real fixing, so that is less work for me, but still...).

And puzzlingly enough, I am not paid to do this ;-).

Thanks for the patch.  Will apply.
