It can only cause problems no matter when it occurs, and there is no reason on
earth send files out with the same name. A simple change by one letter or
adding a number is enough, though I really prefer to see version number and OS
type for files like this one that Gert sent out.

I understand that some programming files can be in that range, and why (Windows
files are notorious <g>) but when the files are large and have to be rehatched
because of problems like this I think everyone sighs.
