I bet as soon as it gets past 255 chars. That seems to be the magic
number for Director. The other one is 127 chars.
This doesn't sound bad until one realizes that the networked Win
systems can end up adding all kinds of hidden directories to a path;
you get things like the user's login, the desktop folder, personal
files, etc., and before you know it none of your projectors work any
more.
I really, really hope Dir9 will address this, because it is an
absolute ball-buster of an issue, even more so than the embedded font
thing. (Your app will still run with wonky fonts, after all.)
