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.
