[GRASS5] MacOSX file name recognition bug in G6?

[Markus Neteler]

Hi,

today I worked on a colleague's MacOSX. Surprisingly I had
the following problem:

#Remove MASK:
GRASS 6.1.cvs (pat_gaussboaga):~ > g.remove MASK
REMOVE [MASK]
 raster
 header
 category
 color
 history
 misc
 fcell    MISSING
 g3dcell  MISSING

#create file with name 'mask' (but not MASK):
GRASS 6.1.cvs (pat_gaussboaga):~ > r.mapcalc "mask=if(isnull(po06_snow007),null(),1)"
 100%
[Raster MASK present]
-> ouch.

GRASS 6.1.cvs (pat_gaussboaga):~/0.875/SCRIPTS/geotop0.875 > g.copy mask,MASK
ERROR: <MASK> already exists
[Raster MASK present]

Is MacOSX unable to distinguish between mask and MASK?

Test in Linux:

GRASS 6.1.cvs (spearfish60):~ > r.mapcalc "mask=1"
 100%
GRASS 6.1.cvs (spearfish60):~ > g.copy mask,MASK
COPY [mask at PERMANENT] to current mapset as [MASK]
 raster
 header
 category
 color    MISSING
 history
 misc
 fcell    MISSING
 g3dcell  MISSING
[Raster MASK present]

-> works ok.

Surprised,
