SINCERE ERROR: Ubuntu 9.10: "File name too long" when copying files from ext3
USB HDD to internal ext4 HDD with encrypted home directory

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils
A colleague backuped all his data from his home directory to an external ext3
formatted USB HDD. He then installed a completely new Ubuntu 9.10, using all of
the computer's internal HD for that, choosing that new installation option that
makes the system encrypt the home directory, in order to have the data
protected in case the computer is stolen when he's travelling. He chose ext4 as
the file system for the internal HDD.
He then tried to copy his backuped data from the external USB HDD to the
computer's internal HDD. Unfortunately, the computer keeps telling "File name
too long", so he cannot copy all of his files. My colleague has to use quite
long file names sometimes, but this has not been a problem before. Especially,
there had been no problem when copying his data from the internal HDD to the
external HDD without using encryption.
I filed this bug against "ecryptfs-utils". I hope this is right. I'm not quite
sure if "ecryptfs" is the program that does this encryption thing.
