Sadly, this is easier said than done. Around here (VMS), the
complaint is "i/o error". I haven't tried it on a UNIX, but it could
easily be different there, too. VMS offers a ayatem service which can
be used to parse a file specification and test it for legality, but I
don't know how you would do it elsewhere. On some Linux system(s),
there seems to be a distictive code/message ("File name too long"):

Simply truncating the name would be asking for collisions, and "etc."
would seem to involve actual work, especially when converting links to
local.
