Didn't Alan fix this bug recently? "ramfs search bug" I think he called
it. Do you have a recent kernel?

Yes. ext2 is case sensitive, so FILE.RSC and file.rsc are different
files. VFAT is case preserving, which means that although it preserves
the case of the filename, it doesn't differ between upper- and
lowercase. So on VFAT, FILE.RSC and file.rsc is the same file.

I would expect TosWin2 to look for "toswin2.rsc", which means that the
file has to be in lowercase on a ext2 partition for TosWin2 to find it.
