Watch NTFS blow a gasket if you extract a file from an archive with a name of one of Windows' reserved devices, like COM, NUL, etc.  Creating the file isn't usually a problem, but accessing it causes ntfs.sys to crash taking out the whole system with it (BSOD.)


AUX, the DOSDriver, is the main culprit in my experience. I think WinUAE has a workaround for it these days, though, in that it adds a prefix to the Windows filesystem filename, but it still presents as AUX on the Amiga side.
