     I worked on a system once that had some disks NFS exported to a
Mac.  The Mac created a file with a '/' in the name.  That was fun.
NOT!  No 'fsdb' either...  That would have made cleaning up the file
too simple.

     On the flip side, Macs use a ':' for a directory seperator
character which, of course, is a perfectly valid character to put in a
filename on a UNIX system.  Of course, this means that we could just
substitute a ':' for any '/'s in the filename.
