[MiNT] Upper / Lowercase issue



Hello everyone,

A few months ago, I think someone posted about an issue with
fileselector not displaying files when the extension was
lowercase and the fileselector expected uppercase.
Which, IIRC, he was answeared this was the right way - but not
sure anymore.
Anyway, I just noticed this - and even worse - :
1- I downloaded 2 zip files in an empty directory. As they were
   displayed before saving to disk, they were lowercase, ie. .zip,
   but the fileselector field displayed .ZIP.
   As the second file was to be saved, after the first one had, I
   could notice that the file selector behaved as if the directory
   was empty - but it was not, since ther was already a file with
   the same extension -.
   The second file was saved, I checked the directory's content,
   and both the files were there.
That's for the first issue. Now, the second strange thing :
2- I unpacked the english TOSWIN2.RSC file directly into its direc-
   tory, which already contains the german toswin2.rsc one.
   The english one being uppercase, the german one lowercase, that
   is why I wrote them the way they are.
   I expected ArcView to ask me if I wanted to overwrite the exis-
   ting file, but it just unpacked it and closed.
   Then, I opened /opt/toswin2 and could see that it contains both
   TOSWIN2.RSC and toswin2.rsc files!
Are those really normal behaviours ? Can really an ext2 filesystem
handle simultaneously both upper- and lowercase versions of one
same nammed file ?
