I can't cause any breakage on my machine...  In case sensitive mode it 
doesn't normally generate the 8.3 filename.  If you modify such a file 
(even using DOS edit) it wipes the 8.3 entry on saving.

It won't be a problem on the server as the case sensitivity is only 
active while cvs.exe is accessing the repository or its temp directories.
