I don't think you've got anything to worry about there. ;)  XEmacs
shouldn't crash due to a failed file operation, which of course can
happen for all sorts of reasons other than a control char in the
filename.

Meanwhile, Corinna has implemented support for the latter on
cygwin-cvs, so that mad filename works fine now:

$ touch $'Ã\202\201Ã\201Ã\201Ã\201Ã\203\22002ABFxi-string)g)ÃÃw\001\200ÃH\001Ã\200\t'
$ ls
Ã??Ã?Ã?Ã?Ã??02ABFxi-string)g)ÃÃw??ÃH?Ã??
$ ls --quoting-style=escape
Ã\202\201Ã\201Ã\201Ã\201Ã\203\22002ABFxi-string)g)ÃÃw\001\200ÃH\001Ã\200\t
