Yes, I have problems (FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #7: Wed May 27 09:58:35 CEST 1998).

Line from /etc/fstab:
	/dev/wd2s1	/dos_d	msdos	rw	0	0

Line from "ls -l /":
	drwx------   1 cejkar  wheel    16384 Pro 31  1979 dos_d

Example:

	su
	cd /dos_d
	echo A > xxx
	cp xxx xxx.new
	mv xxx.new xxx.bad
	ls -l
		...
		-rwx------  1 cejkar  wheel      2 Čvc 14 12:10 xxx
		-rwx------  1 cejkar  wheel      2 Čvc 14 12:10 xxx.bad
		...
	# Ok - it is good still
	rm xxx xxx.bad
	echo A > xxx
	cp xxx xxx.new
	ls -l
		...
		-rwx------  1 cejkar  wheel      2 Čvc 14 12:14 XXX.BAD
		-rwx------  1 cejkar  wheel      2 Čvc 14 12:14 xxx
		...
	# Hmm, there _should_ be "xxx" and "xxx.new", am I right?

Is this example sufficient? Is this widely repeatible?

(I have installed Win95 & FreeBSD-CURRENT in my box.)
