according to the link:
http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/io/File.html#hashCode%28%29
<http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/io/File.html#hashCode%28%29>Because
equality of abstract pathnames is inherently system-dependent, so is the
computation of their hash codes.
Is it a problem that "windows equals" is inconsistent with hashCode here? I
admit these are corner cases.
