I guess ntfs.sys in NT4 is buggy, and it get fixed in XP (AFAIU you too
used it for testing) or 2000. When I disabled check by
legal_ansi_char_array I received properly collated index after creation
of all those files and chkdsk had no problems with it. I think for >=
3.0 volumes we can remove this check at all. Not sure what about 1.2
version, will be great to test on NT4 what happens when it found such
properly collated index.
