New description:

 While reporting the incident in #1395 on a Windows platform, the following
 error occurred:
 {{{
 [Failure instance: Traceback: <type 'exceptions.IOError'>:
 [Errno 22] invalid mode ('wb') or filename:
 u'C:\\tahoeclient\\logs\\incidents\\incident-2011-05-05--18:33:34Z-
 w2qn32q.flog'
 }}}

 The problem (or at least one problem) is that '{{{:}}}' is not valid in a
 Windows filename. [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
 us/library/aa365247%28v=vs.85%29.aspx This MSDN article] documents the
 Windows filename validity rules.

 Presumably we don't have any test of writing an incident flogfile. This
 may mean that incident reporting has always been broken on Windows (unless
 the flogfile naming changed?)
