- I've run across an interesting bug in the WPS concerning
- files. Sometimes, for no reason that I can explain, when
- I make a copy of a file from the command line, when I view
- the directory from the WPS, both the copy of the file and
- the original have the same title. For example, I might have
- a file named v.exe and when a copy is made and called v1.exe,
- the WPS displays both objects as 'v.exe'. It seems to only
- do this for files which have EA's attached (I'm using HPFS),
- but not all files with EA's behave this way. Has anyone else
- run across this and is there a rational explanation for why
- this occurs? Clearly you shouldn't be able to have two different
- objects with the same title in the same folder.
