Wow, this not-so-little bug sucks. The short form of it is that there's a way to disguise non-text files as text files (actually, any file as another type of file) in Windows; when the user double-clicks it, it will execute as whatever real kind of file it is (e.g., a big whopping virus, or a trojan that just deletes everything on your computer, or whatever).

dang it... now i'm going to have to be that much more careful.
