that's more of a design flaw than a bug: any of those names actually refer to a device no matter where you reference them from, so things get confused if you give something else the same name.
this technique is actually used by people who put illegal files on poorly-protected ftp servers, possibly in an attempt to make it harder to delete.
my mind is like a steel trap! it only hangs on to the big stuff. visit my forums at track7.org

It's not even a bug, its names that have been used within windows that it has restricted for obvious reasons.
Meh!
