the problem did not came only from OS, but also from the filesystem.
dot at the beginning of the file usually mean that the file is hidden (but exist).
on a ext4 partition, only / is not possible in your list.
i don't know about fat : since it's the only filesystem that allow to be read / write by the 3 major OS, it's important to test.
i also don't know about what happen on a DVDROM.
experience told me that if you are looking for trouble, you will find them at some point.

On Windows, for instance, you can't have *? < > | : * \ / "* in filenames.I just confirmed you can't have those characters in a .dll file
So, besides these characters in Windows, what are other forbiden ones in other operational systems we run pd on?
I have Mac Os and it seems only colon (*:*)**is prohibited (as in windows), or dot (.) at the beginning of a file.
How about Linux?
