From 58ba80a6a66d74f7b9dcc40fb8c08a2201749194 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jack Jansen Date: Sun, 18 Aug 2002 21:57:09 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Refuse to run if the last bit of the destination path contains a # character. This is a silly workaround for a rather serious bug in MacOSX: if you take a long filename and convert it to an FSSpec the fsspec gets a magic cooky (containing a #, indeed). If you then massage the extension of this fsspec and convert back to a pathname you may end up referring to the same file. This could destroy your sourcefile. The problem only occcurs in MacPython-OS9, not MacPython-OSX (I think).
