Like I said Ben from Google was the one who explained the
filesystem issue.

I don't think it is an SVN issue.  GCC ran into similar issue (not the
rpo, the compiler) very recently.

Bill, forget about SVN for a moment.  How to you plan to keep POLY.pht
and poly.pht as separate files in the same directory using a case
preserving and case insensitive filesystem?
