changed qa contact to depstein. nominating nsbeta2 because this is a regression 
test.

Putting on [NEED INFO] radar. PDT needs to know impact to user and risk of fix 
to make a call on this bug. 

Comment 3

[Jay Patel [:jay]]

Putting on [nsbeta2-] radar.

nominated by QA for nsbeta3. Breakage of a key fileop.

Comment 5

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

Another one we could probably live without.

Comment 6

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

This just isn't that important. It will start working when Blizzard fixes 
nsIFile on Linux.

Comment 7

[David Epstein]

This is now fixed! File renames to new name. No junk chars are seen in the log 
file, and no trace of the old file. Hallelujah!

Comment 8

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]
