A further thought, having posted the code I use...

Someone could write a small test program, using nicename.c, to
generate a list of filenames for the whole of the current
'active.dis'.  The list would be output to another file.
That could then be scanned, for non-uniqueness, anomalies,
what-have-you.

The function has worked well for me, for over a year, but
I'm not very adventurous in my Usenet travels.  Such a test
might give greater confidence in the code.
