Nyet, my friend, for i checked for these during my tests. All reserved devices
(like those above), I checked for errors. None found.

HOWEVER, I would believe a literal ASCII translation would also work. (CON,
NUL, and some other things I can't name off the top of my head, is an example)

I need to find an ASCII table again... :-/

(Do an "echo blahblah > /con/con"... it echos everything except the redirect
sign back... eerie, my friends)

Where is my filesystem logger site when I need it? Grr.
