I have a very simply java class that reads the contents of a directory via the File.listFiles() method then iterates 
through that list of files and makes sure that each file in the list exists via the File.exists() method. Simple, eh? 
(source attached)

Well to add a bit of a twist to this, one of the files contained in the directory has a unicode character in it's name.

When I run this class with jdk1.3.1, the class reports that files in the directory exists, as expected.

When I run this class with jdk1.4, the class reports that the file with unicode characters Does NOT exist, even though 
it is present in the File System and appears that Files.listFiles() was able to find it. (see below for output).

What gives???

I have attached a zip which contains the contents of the directory below.

Any insight you have is much appreciated

Eric
