1.3.4: Filenames ending with a dot

[Kandziora Jan]

Hello,

there may be a problem with cygwin's handling of filenames: Files with any
number of dots at the end are referred to be the same with no dots at the
end at all. E.g.

echo Hello >a
echo World >a....

results in a single file a, containing "World". The file can be accessed
with the name "a" and also "a." etc.
Moreover, one can mkdir a directory named "xyz", and use it with any number
of dots at the end.

mkdir xyz
cd xyz.....

pwd gives now "(...) /xyz....."
I wonder if you intended it to work like this or if it's a bug.

	Jan Kandziora
