| Oops, my earliest unix experience was on a BSD4.3 variant, so I was | spoiled by ffs and didn't realise the (in this context) helpful v7fs | behaviour with overlong filename components. To clarify ... I meant7th edition (and earlier) filesystems, not necessarily the thing we have called v7fs about which I know nothing ... thiugh I wondered when I saw your PR whether a name length problem might be what caused that. kre
