    	Yep, it does the same thing for me.

    	Hmmm, but I don't understand what you're doing here.  Are you 
somehow storing the filename that pdb outputs and you need to use it 
later on a potentially different OS?  If the case is preserved in pdb on 
linux, then presumably running it on linux will be fine, right?  It's 
only a problem if you somehow try to use a filename created by windows-
pdb to open a file (the same file, somehow) on linux.
