Re: LMTX: different output if dots are used in the file name

[Alan Braslau <braslau.list@comcast.net>]

multiple dots.

Therefore, Hans never uses such filenames and does not expect them,
either, so I am not surprised that this yields unpredictable results.

An unfortunate side-effect of dealing with Windows.
