Looks like an internal error of genisoimage.

'.' should be mapped to a 0x00-byte in ECMA-119, '..' to 0x01.
See ECMA-119, 6.8.2.2 Identification of directories.
These names are reserved for that purpose.
Any other colliding ECMA-119 names should be handled by mangling.


But why is that mini.iso produced by genisoimage at all ?
debian-7.2.0-sparc-netinst.iso was produced by xorriso.


Have a nice day :)
