Bug description

Full_Name: Brian Hulley
Version: 3.08.2
OS: Windows XP SP2
Submission from: dsl-80-44-75-116.access.as9105.com (80.44.75.116)

I have got two files, stringsource.ml and stringsource.mli (all lowercase).
However the compiler keeps complaining that:

"Wrong file naming: stringSource.cmi contains the compiled interface for
Stringsource"

In this message, the compiler has got the cases completely mixed up, because I
used "StringSource" as the module name and the files are stored on disk with all
lower case characters, so I can't figure out where the compiler is getting
"stringSource" from. I've tried everything: deleting the files from disk,
changing the name of the module from "StringSource" to "Stringsource" etc, but
nothing seems to work.

A bug report 2027 seems related, but that is marked as fixed (although the
report was related to Mac OS I think) Also there was a question on this issue on
a Yahoo group, but someone replied that it was fixed, but I assume this fix must
have been for a different operating system since it is certainly not fixed on
Windows XP.

I am compiling via:

ocamake *.mli *.ml

and the contents of the files are:

stringsource.mli:

module type STRINGSOURCE = sig
val getSource : string -> (int -> char option)
end;;

stringsource.ml:

module Stringsource:STRINGSOURCE = struct
let getSource (s:string) =
let len = String.length s in
function i ->
if (i < len) then Some s.[i] else None
end;;

Many thanks - I look forward to trying out this new language.
