[p4] p4scc issue with case sensitivity under Windows XP: msg#00106

Subject: [p4] p4scc issue with case sensitivity under Windows XP
Hi there,

I upgraded to p4scc version 2003.2beta/53916 on Windows XP Pro SP1 and I
started having problems under Visual C++ 6.0: it reports that the client
cannot connect to the server.

Looking at the log file it is the 'p4 where' command that fails and the
issue is the case sensitivity in the client specification, as p4scc (or
Visual C++) passes all lower-case names to 'p4 where' (even if the path
contains some upper-case letters).

For example with the following in the client specification

//depot/dev/products/Research/...
//TROUT_main/products/Research/...

Any perforce connection from Visual C++ fails as 'p4 where' is case
sensitive on the client specification part of a path (but not case
sensitive in the file name part that follows). Changing the client
specification to

//depot/dev/products/Research/...
//TROUT_main/products/research/...

solves the problem as the view specification is all lower-case (except
for the client name).

Is this a known issue (could not find anything about it)?
Is there any solution or bug-fix planned? It worked with p4scc version
r02.2.

Thanks in advance,

Diego
