Oh I see, I've done something similar on my system and know errors can be produced. I'm not sure your example qualifies as a legitimate directory structure though :-) I think most people will be fine until their paths reach about 3950 chars. So I was mainly wondering if it's ok to skip paths longer than that, or if someone actually has data they want to save in files whose paths are 5kB long. -- Ben Escoto
