That wouldn't be the correct fix. '+' is clearly not in the POSIX Portable 
Filename Character Set. See 
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap03.html#tag_03_276

The correct fix is to change to a different name checker, possibly native 
or no_check.

By the way, this kind of SNAFU is one of the reasons I've decided to remove 
the checking functionality from class path. They will still be available as 
free functions.
