I do not agree on this. Upstream may think this, and it may well be fine
for harddisks, but this was data on a CD coming from somewhere else, and
i can hardly have all the other boxes in the world modified in order to
be able to read those files.

Also, even if the below was correct, i think there still would be a bug
in the fact that the file got totally ignored. At least it should have
been shown, even with some strange letters or something.

Friendly,
