BUG or BY DESIGN? Filehandling on .NET is not windows compatible for NTFS and FAT

Hi,

On the file handling methods, if you are dealing with files (Windows
filesystem is case INSENSITIVE) yet when you specify file A.BLAH and its
a.blah on windows, you get FileNotFoundException.

If this by design for cross platform and different file systems or a bug?
Shouldnt this be defaulting to INSENSITIVE instead of SENSITIVE on windows
NTFS (for FATxx for that matter)?

Thanks.

Please provide an example...
For me it is not reproducable...

Do you need a memory-leak finder ?
