Considering the behavior you just mentioned, regardless of what specifics
may exist, I'd break that bad boy down into multiple directories.

Subject: RE: Number of files in a directory
I did that earlier, but I had to go. It takes 15 minutes just to do a dir

Have a great Labor Day all. You deserve it!!

Add one more file. If you can't, it's the max.
