[erlang-bugs] Code server does not correctly handle case sensitivity

Hi,

I was playing around with PropEr, testing meck, when discovering that 
loading a lower case module using it's name in upper case will cause the 
code server to crash:

1> l('DBG').
{error,badfile}

=ERROR REPORT==== 14-Jun-2011::09:45:15 ===
Loading of 
/Users/alind/Applications/erlang/r13b04/lib/erlang/lib/runtime_tools-1.8.3/ebin/DBG.beam 
failed: badfile

=ERROR REPORT==== 14-Jun-2011::09:45:15 ===
beam/beam_load.c(1036): Error loading module 'DBG':
   module name in object code is dbg

2> l(dbg).
{module,dbg}


Loading a module which has an upper case name already works just fine:

3> l('TEST').
{module,'TEST'}

Cheers,
Adam
