I'm not sure whether I really get the issue, but as it seems the problem seems to be that PHP is using locale-aware lowercasing functions in the core. Couldn't the issue be fixed by replacing those with local-unaware functions? Why does one have to change PHPs general case sensitivity handling for that? Nikita
