Yeah, Adobe products were the reason I switched back from a case-sensitive
filesystem as well (sadly, that causes problems for other things I deal
with). I tried running those down with a system call tracer and I found
some of the problems; they were, as you would surmise, similar problems
that you discovered - resource named "Foo.rsrc" in the filesystem but
called "foo.rsrc" in some resource file. Sadly I could never track all
the problems down, but clearly they were just stupid screwups; there's
no fundamental reason why those applications shouldn't work.
