Quite sure this must be a bug... I played a bit more...
I can create a folder which is shown as "a.2ea" and in the filesystem
this becomes ".a.2e2ea".

When I make a folder "a" and then try to make a subfolder "2ea" of it...
it doesn't work (the client seems to already fail).

When I make subfolders (below) like "3e" or "65"... they first show up
as these.... but after several times refreshing... they become folder
"a>" and "ae".


Using another quote character like:
listescape_char = ^
and things seem to work again as expected, i.e. a folder "e.e" becomes
".e^2ee"



Cheers,
Chris.
