Re: [Patch]: NUL and other special names

[David Fritz <zeroxdf at att dot net>]

I don't think the logic implemented by RtlIsDosDeviceName_U() is all that 
different from the logic in the patch.  Which is to say, it seems to use a 
hard-coded list of names and does not actually check for existing devices.  Do 
we want to block all names that could be DOS devices or just the names of 
devices that exist?

This is interesting:

So is this:

-----
C:\>ver

Windows 98 [Version 4.10.2222]


C:\>type config$

Invalid device request reading device CONFIG$
Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail?f
Fail on INT 24 - config$
