I fear I can trace this behaviour directly into base.

I created this directory:

++ testdir
 |
 +--a
 +--b
    +---file1.txt

ok? now I have this small program:
  fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
  e = [fm enumeratorAtPath:@"/home/multix/Desktop/testdir"];
  while (o = [e nextObject])
  {
    NSLog(@"%@", o);
  }


It will print out:
2014-06-19 17:56:07.871 DirTest[51] a
2014-06-19 17:56:07.872 DirTest[51] b
2014-06-19 17:56:07.873 DirTest[51] b/file1.txt

Which is fine!

However if I rename the directory "a" to "a:", just that....

The program will loop until it exhausts file descriptors.

2014-06-19 17:59:11.221 DirTest[10825] a:b/file1.txt
2014-06-19 17:59:11.221 DirTest[10825] a:
2014-06-19 17:59:11.221 DirTest[10825] a:b
2014-06-19 17:59:11.221 DirTest[10825] a:b/file1.txt
2014-06-19 17:59:11.221 DirTest[10825] a:

'/home/multix/Desktop/testdir/b' - Too many open files
<...>

thus I fear it is something in NSFileManager! On unix the ":" shouldn't 
be special like on Mac where it is a path separator.
Richard, do you have a clue?
