This is my personal working directory, under git control to carry it around
between computers on a flash drive. Now stripped of git. I am reluctant t=
o
send it along, but I could send a tarball to someone who is willing to chec=
k
on it. It's 300M.
I moved ./mozilla out of the way. The problem persists.
I found one ampersand in a file name, and changed it. No happiness.
Don't know how to find a filename with a space at the end. Is there a tool
to find hosed filenames?
Thank
Alan Davis
