gst does not like file name that contains #?

Here it goes:
derekxiaomai:~/unzip$ ls
#a#
derekxiaomai:~/unzip$ gst

I am using gst 3.0.2. It looks like file name that contains
$# triggers some 
VFS related file name munging. 
I don't like weird looking file names myself, but emacs uses
#bluh# as 
autosaved backup for edited files and I don't like my
smalltalk program to 
crash:(

Yes, that's why it was changed (incompatibly) in 3.1. :-(

I think you can hack around it saying that a # at the *end*
of the name 
does not count in VFSHandler class >> #for: (in
kernel/VFS.st of 3.0.2). 
  Do you want to try making a patch or should I?
