[Bug 41931] Re: Copying files from OS X causes errors with icon files

I am using Ubuntu 5.10.
The filesystem I am trying to copy to is FAT32. The filesystem on the SMB share is OS X's filesystem.

I can confirm that the file that causes the problem is a hidden file on OS X -- trying to copy just this file reproduces the error.
In the OS X terminal, "ls -a" causes it to show as "Icon?". Autocomplete on the OS X terminal produces "Icon^M".
Copying it from the SMB share to my desktop on Ubuntu (ext3 filesystem) works, and produces a (non-hidden) file. This has the same name in the gnome terminal as on OS X, and on the desktop is called "Icon\n" (where \n is a newline character).
