When creating FileOutputStream for a file whose name starts with 'com' it does not create a file or outputs data until eventually
it generates an FileNotFoundException.
  Exactly the same problem exists for a FileWriter.

Here is an example source code:
----------------------------
import java.io.*;

public class TestWrite {


 public static void main (String args[]) throws Exception
   {

             String testString = "This is just a test\n";
FileOutputStream out = null;
             for (int i = 0; i < 10 ; i++ )
             {
                 String fileName = "com" + (i + 1) + ".txt";
File fl = new File(fileName);
if (fl.exists())
{
     System.out.println("Deleting file " + fl.getName());

fl.delete();
fl = new File(fileName);
                   }
   System.out.println("Creating file " + fl.getName());


out = new FileOutputStream(fl);
System.out.println("Creating out as " + fl.getAbsolutePath());
for (int j = 0; j < 10; j++ )
{
                    out.write(testString.getBytes());
                }
             }
     }

}
---------------------
Compile
javac TestWrite.java

Run java TestWrite

Program output:

Deleting file com1.txt
Creating file com1.txt
Creating out as D:\test\com1.txt
Deleting file com2.txt
Creating file com2.txt
Creating out as D:\test\com2.txt
Deleting file com3.txt
Creating file com3.txt
java.io.FileNotFoundException: com3.txt
        at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:61)
        at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:106)
        at TestWrite.main(Compiled Code)

-------
Even though files com1.txt and com2.txt are reported as created they are not!!
