hex 0x78 is 'x'.

I assumed that it was a fix to make the directory-names work around the
case-insensitivity of the filesystem.  (It's a nuisance, but there are
two entries that collide in that case).  That wouldn't fix the general
case for collisions though since it only addresses the first character.
