I dunno if this is really a bug.. But our system runs a
SYSV derived version of unix (masscomp RTU). Some of the the
filenames in the bash (1.01) distribution got are longer
that 14 chars, and are truncated on untaring.

While I would agree that 14 chars may be a crazy limit for
an operating system, some of us have no choice in the
matter..  So, any chance of keeping filenames shorter in
future releases?

Thanks,
/Jamie
