Hello,

I have seen that for filenames that are composed entirely of UPPERCASE
letters, that their dirent->d_name entry is all *lowercase*. This can be a
problem when porting posix-oriented programs that happen to require
UPPERCASE. Good examples of this are module subdirectories for Python and re
comparisons from a list.

I am working on a work-around.

Filenames that exist of *mIxEd* letter cases are returned correctly. Odd.


Has anyone else noticed this?


Regards,
Ben
