But in this case, the file name we are talking about was _produced_ by a function, i.e. by some system call. I don't think such a file name can exceed the syscall limits, can it? _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
