Just noticed this directory name:

Is "+" safe to use across file systems?

No, not in general.

Hm, actually I'm fairly sure more than one "." is not safe. For example in the MVS systems?

IIRC, there are several legacy file systems that don't support multiple periods. I'll change the offending name. It was one I use internally, and decided to add to SVN without reconsidering the naming. Thanks, --Beman
