[Mono-list] File upload in asp.net and Path.GetFileName

[Juraj Skripsky]

This problem has been fixed (see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=MONO82059).
HttpPostedFile.FileName will contain a filename with everything up to
(and including) the last '\' stripped away automatically. The next
version of Mono (1.2.6) will contain the fix.
