In just what way would that be? If you are referring to the fact that
a specially crafted regex can take time to execute, then that issue
has already been covered in previous mails.

I think not, since Lindows, and other GNU/Linux distributions, are
case-sensitive, and thus their users will already often be accustomed
to such behavior.

In any case, though, that was a bad example to begin with, since noone
wants DC searches to be case-sensitive, whatever O/S they come from.
