Well, for the given title, 8.3 yields:
"Tcl_Tk 8.5 P", but I imagine, for this case, that what it might do is
see an eight character filename and a dot, and expect that it will see
an extension after that. Since it's got not only eight characters and
the start of an extension, it's got another dot way down the way that
has a recognizable extension, and in the middle it's got loads of
whitespace. You haven't shown what the 8.3 result of shortening is
(what's the extension? pdf or 5\ P or 5pr or something else?) Does the
eight character name include whitespace? (since there's one at position
seven in the input filename).
You've presented your conclusion, that android can handle filenames
longer than 255 characters, but openbsd can't, and you've given an
example of an input filename, but not of the resultant 8.3
representation, and only one example. Have you, perhaps, misdiagnosed
the problem?
