Lorenzo has correctly pointed out that Finder 10.2.1 barfs at colons, but
not at slashes. I *thought* this was a behaviour that had changed in Jaguar,
but maybe I imagined it, or perhaps this changed again with 10.2.1? It is
certainly present in file save dialogs in 10.2.1 - trying to enter a slash
or a colon in the filename brings a chime and the character is rejected.
