That sounds very much beeing the API problem of _findfirst
converting unicode to "0x3F"

Yes, NT-_findfirst delivers filenames which are unusable
for a "fileopen"! 


One attempt, at least to be able to open that file from
8bit world, maybe using the 8.3 name mangeling..
But on long directories that is very bad for the performance.
