Minor - P4 Trying to drop a collection named with periods and underscores, which fails. Tried to rename is using renameCollection, to then drop it. The runCommand/renameCollection causes mongod to crash:

Noticed this happened in 2.1.2 as well, but thought it might be fixed in 2.2.0-rc0. It isn't urgent to delete the collection and I know this is just a release candidate, but noticed the problem and thought I would mention it.
