The application have have the path String ".php\000.jpg" but when you 
create the file (with FileOutputStream or other APIs) then it would be 
".php.jpg". Another potential approach is to just fail when attempting 
to create the file but changing File's constructor to throw an exception 
would be an incompatible change.
