It shouldn't. The point is, that Windows could look at ISO9660 filenames
in a different way than "normal", on-disk filenames. It could be that
Windows doesn't consider those Hebrew filenames as Hebrew, but rather as
some unknown language, and doesn't use the Bidi algorithm on them. Maybe
Ilya's idea will convince it ;-)
