Are you trying to create a dirname that is 4085 bytes long? dirs are limited
to 255 bytes for their name. You will have to create a series of dirs to get
the right length. Is this what you are doing?
Ah ... I was trying to create one really long directory ...
I think at some point I thought of doing what you suggested ... but
disregarded it because I thought it would be a pain to cascade
directories ...
Thanks for the help Steve
