This particular bug isn't fixed in the V2.03 refresh - so you need to
grab the V2.04 test builds - or rename the files to lower case.

(At the time this looked like a lot of modules to touch in the refresh
to get the case fixing feature to work.  Hindsight says I probably 
should have fixed it also ...)
