I've seen the plugins which handle cfgs, thx. I'm hoping this is something 
Valve can address being its a standard map config which is suppose to 
load along with the map. Approx 95% of my map configs load though the ones with 
the longer names seem to have issues.

If I manually run exec ctf_badlands_classic_b3e.cfg there is know problem. 
Its when the server tries to load the map and associated configs... then I see 
the output as described below.

Subject: Re: [hlds] TF2 Map Config Name Lengths

seems to work for me...
i made a test CFG that with "echo Executed" in it, here is the output:
11:32:09 L 11/02/2008 - 12:32:11: rcon from "xx.xxx.xxx.xxx": command "exec
long_name_is_loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong.cfg"
11:32:09 Executed

If you can't get it to work, there are several sourcemod map config plugins
that might be able to work with longer names.
