Well, I finally upgraded to version 3.5 and things seem to be running
smoothly, except...

I have a few programs which run on pc's and store data on a mounted
filesystem.  I've been writing to files with names like "mp-100t-910503"
which 3.0.1a handled quite nicely.  Now 3.5 truncates the filename.

Is there any way to turn off the filename truncation?  It's really nice
to do an ls and see which tests have been run without having to look in
each file.  The data is processed on Suns, so I don't have to deal with
the name mapping on the pc's.

Any help would be appreciated.
