[VFS] Problem with usage of HashMap

In the class AbstractFileSystem then list of files is stored in a HashMap. 

Unfortunaly this HashMap causes problems, depending on the filenames 
present in the directory. 

We encountered the problem in a directory who contains the filenames "i0.png" and "gn.png".
When we make the two Strings and look at the HashCode, then we see that they 
 return the same value.

String f1= new String("i0.png");
System.out.println(f1);
String f2= new String("gn.png");
System.out.println(f2.hashCode());


Those filenames are a small subset of the country flags of the awstats.sourceforge.net project.


I have reported it as a defect in scarab.
