Honestly, that kind of sounds like you did a bad port. The purpose of a port isn't to copy all stupid things from the source platform, but to adapt it to run well on the target system...

In the same manner I wouldn't limit filenames to 8.3 when porting from DOS to Linux, or allow backslash in filenames when porting the other way around...
