Title	Bug Cannot Ceate A Page Named CON

Um, try to create a page named 'CON' on a windows server indicates that the page already exists, and no edits are saved against it. I think it's getting confused with the device 'con'sole... probably?

Come to think of it, I'm curious what 'nul' would do... So okay, NUL, LPT1 all return a blank page, and... COM1 seems to hang the server waiting to do a read from the serial device!

I wonder if this has any security implications? Any comments from people who use windows?

I confirm this bug. There is some info at forum.java.sun.com. As solution to this, we could create a filter, which checks the name of a wikipage. Similar to the ProfanityFilter, which checks the content of an edited wiki page. Windows users, could activate this filter. Is there already such a filter?

OK. So, apparently adding ".txt" to the file name is not enough... I'll add a patch to FileSystemProvider.mangleName() to rewrite certain page names (and BasicAttachmentProvider as well).

Added a fix for 2.2.19 (all offending page names are prepended with "$$$" on Windows), though it's untested (I don't have a Windows machine; please someone check this!)
