Hi Thomas,
This is very unfortunate. I have ashamed myself sending scripts to colleagues
that did not work on their platform, just because I developed them on Debian,
which "corrects" file names unilaterally. I would prefer my colleagues to know
Debian for being rock solid and secure, rather than know it for being
incompatible by design with the rest of the Unix world.
Cheers,
Charles
