Well, sort of.  

$ ls -li

20061687 -rw-r--r--   1 administ JRW             0 Apr 18 14:04 b
20061687 -rw-r--r--   1 administ JRW             0 Apr 18 14:04 b.
$ rm b
$ ls -li
ls: b.: No such file or directory
total 0
$ touch b
$ ls -li
total 0
20389367 -rw-r--r--   1 administ JRW             0 Apr 18 14:14 b
20389367 -rw-r--r--   1 administ JRW             0 Apr 18 14:14 b.

Note the different "inode" numbers.  Apparently, there is a directory entry
for b. which is pathologically linked to the name b (no dot).
