Are your sources placed on a samba-share? If so, check 'man smb.conf'
for preservation of filename-case on general filenames (option 'preserve
case') and dos-style '8.3'-ones (option 'preserve short case' or something
like that :).

If your mounted drive is a native NT/Win95 one, just forget about the
samba-stuff. I can somehow remember a posting of Geoffrey Noer
mentioning that the mixed-support is broken in b18. Perhaps check the
mail-archives on that topic or correct me if I'm wrong here!

hth,
