Well, for anyone who actually cares (which is probably nobody :), it
turns out that I can, in fact make a full list of all ``some names like
"aux"'':

     The following reserved words cannot be used as the name of a
     file: CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4,
     COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5,
     LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9. Also, reserved words followed by
     an extension--for example, NUL.tx7--are invalid file
     names.
