Shucks, I left my laptop at home this morning, so I'm afraid I can't
tell definitively at the moment, but the problem showed up trying to
read the VN Inferno CD, among others.  The file is most definitely
*not* named ``readme.''; the periods don't show up under other OS's
(I've tried Windows and FreeBSD), and the Inferno installation script
failed when it couldn't find, eg, ``foo'' because ``foo'' was known
as ``foo.''.  Not what VN had intended, I'm guessing.

(this is from memory)  I did modify a routine, called, I believe,
rzdir() in 9660srv.c to remove trailing dots from file names shortly
after a section of code in which file version numbers were being
stripped off.  That seemed to fix at least some of it; it strikes me
that was using a strict iso9660 CD.
