Hello ,
Description of the problem:
A file with colon in the name
was created successfully from cygwin,
I can't delete it neither from cygwin nor from NT.
If you know how to delete it please drop me a line.
How to reproduce the problem:
$ touch .cachedmetrics.:0.0
$ ls
ls: .cachedmetrics.: No such file or directory
