Yes, and in the AOL-esque sense, I can just image a file name that spans five screens full of path and name, just to contain a "Me too" as the data. How would one store, and iterate a filesystem where filenames could be any size? Would one open a system file called "Directory", and use a system-supplied database utility to iterate the files? Far better would be a (say) 1024 limit on the total path size. So from the root directory to the end of the filename would total not more than 1024 chars.
