Subject: aux.c special name?
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I can't seem to edit any files named "aux.c" .  Why is this happening to me?
Steps to reproduce:

echo "weidness" > aux.c
vi aux.c   --> "aux.c is not a file"

similar results with other editors / operations.
the "file" command reports it as character special device?
This is weird and poses difficulty porting packages that have an aux.c file.
