R help - Oct 2009 - windows system file aux

Hi all,

I just would like to notice a small problem of R on windows (XP at least).
If you execute the following lines
x <- rexp(1000)
write.csv(x, file="aux.csv")
the R GUI just loops for ever... this is due to the fact on windows, users
can create a file or directory with the name aux or aux.*.

If you try to create a text file on windows aux.txt, it says you could not
do it.

Is it possible for the R GUI to catch this message? or just raise an error?

Thanks in advance

Christophe
