They're not two files. ls picks the one file up twice if you specify the

Actually, I was surprised that I *could* create two *files* with
case-insensitive conflicting names, however not without weird side

$ touch aaa
$ touch AAA
$ ls -l aaa AAA
-rw-r--r-- 1 jon staff 0 Sep 4 13:35 AAA
-rw-r--r-- 1 jon staff 0 Sep 4 13:35 aaa
$ rm AAA
$ ls -l aaa AAA
ls: AAA: No such file or directory
ls: aaa: No such file or directory
