The solution is that "/" is replaced by "-".  This is the same safety check that is \
in kpilot's hotSync.cc, and is what was recommended by Adriaan.  

Yes, you're correct, there is a very edge case that could cause one file to be \
overwritten by another (if you have a memo titled "2004/03/21" and one called \
"2004-03-21", then one will be clobbered).  If you have a better solution, feel free \
to update this bug with a patch, or even a logical suggestion.  Remember--the \
challenge here is that the only way to prevent this from happening is to use the \
pilot's ID as the filename--that's the unique key for the Memo.  I don't think that's \
horribly useful, since what you'll end up with in your directories is files named \
"133334444", "133445533", "244333338", etc., which defeats the purpose of having flat \
files that can be edited easily.
