Yes I pointed the browser to the correct local file in both cases.

The file was 4MB. 4MB>250kB. Appropriate messages to say this are
"File too big", "File size exceed limits", "Sorry, only 250kB files
are allowed". Not "Invalid filename".

I have already plenty of bug tracking system logins and don't want any
more. Searching for the passwords every time is annoying. Remembering
them is impossible. Apart from tons of other accounts I have accounts on:
* Samba bugzilla
* gentoo bugzilla
* gentoo forum
* Apache bugzilla
* xfree86 bugzilla

Yes, but reporting bugs in bug reporting systems that have bugs (as was
obviously proven - "invalid filename" as a reaction to too long file is
obviously a bug) strongly smells with infinite recursivity (what if the
bugreporting system that the bugreporting system bugreporting system uses
has a bug too that prevents you from filing the bug into the bugreporting
system properly?)
