[TriLUG] Problem on Fedora 8

[Alexander Ray]

I hope this isn't too obvious a question, but why are invisible characters
allowed in filenames?  As far as I know the name doesn't affect it's node,
so the file name is just for the human's benefit.  If we can't read it,
whats the use?
(And invisible characters can cause problems such as these)
