From the tar manual entry
	 The limit on file name length is 100 characters.

Is this an artificial limitation ? Trying to tar a CAP filesystem causes
real problems, eg

tar: File name too long: /u/Mac/Public/spr/Match Expts/Single and Double/Results
/Double Results/145:2f200res/145 res/.finderinfo
