I also suggested you could use the DEF file to set the long names 
attribute; if you don't have exehdr (are you sure?), then use the 
def file line:
   NAME test NEWFILES
This assumes you have a new enough version of the linker to support 
HPFS attributes.

I don't know why it should cause a protection violation. Maybe you 
have an old library that doesn't understand HPFS (I wonder if it tries to 
copy the filename?)
