Just a thought:
 If this problem is left unsolved, If I try to write in to an NFS mounted
 file system, just imagine if the downcasing happens. I will end up
 having filenames which do not adhere to what I typed (as Unix file
 system is case sensitive).
This is the case in the development environment I am in. Cross-platform
development.
