I've also seen "warez doodz" recently using (as subdirectory names,
usually under IIS FP subdirs such as _vti_pvt made available to anon FTP)
DOS/Windows device driver names such as 'prn', 'con' and 'com1'. These
also appear to be problematic for sysadmins to manipulate (remove,
rename, etc.) using ordinary tools when they are the components of a pathname.
