What I am thinking is that it will move the new ones to the directory, the old
ones (that are not in all CAPS) will still be there, the new ones will get
renamed to something else (like zip.# or the like because they will never be
replaced), and the updated file listing might point to the wrong/older file.

I guess that is not really a problem *here* as no one (that I can tell) ever
comes looking for files here.  Could be a problem for systems where people do
go looking for files.

I don't think it was, either.  I labeled the original message "issue" in quotes
on purpose.  I don't think htick had an issue, was just hoping it might have
some config setting or command line parm that I was missing that might help
with ignoring it. :D
