I tried to create 2 mailslots with the name "\\\\.\\mailslot\\downstreamX" 
while X=0,1
I always received an error 183 (Cannot create a file when that file 
already exists.) when I tried to create the 2nd one. It doesn't work until 
I change the name to dnstrmX. I guess that my slot name were truncated so 
that I got a name conflict.
My questions:
1) What's the maximal length?
2) Is it compiler dependent? because...
    I've got a sample program from net which is using the name smschildX. 
The executable (not compiled by myself) is working fine. But when I tried 
with dnstreamX (same length as smschildX) in my program it failed with 
same error.

thanks
