Glenn,
That's an XP path you've provided.
On Vista or 7 it'd be:
C:\Users\tatham.oddie\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User
Data\Default\Storage
Microsoft explicitly did work in Vista to reduce the lengths of those base
paths.
Now, the Google component of the path is actually the longer part.

Worse, the profile directory is deeply nested all by itself--it looks like the
typical location for this data would be something like:
C:\Documents and Settings\Glenn\Local Settings\Application
Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Storage
That's past 100 characters already.
