I'm pretty sure that it is. I'll can test this afternoon, but I wanted
to report this before the tarball is rolled.

Note that, technically, /any/path/nul is a "valid" name to use for such
things. Just like some mad Unix sysadmin had gone and created a "null" in
every directory on the system.
I would, however, sleep quite easily if we only allowed "nul" without any
path to be used.

I've just confirmed it. "type summary.dat > nul" resulted in no files
created. As an interesting side note:
dir nul
in C:\ resulted in:
Directory of \\.
File not Found
Weird.
