The irony of all this is that, at least on the hp9000s300 boxen, the
underlying directory structure is the Berkeley one.  Marketing
considerations prompted HP to crimp Berkeley's 256-character filenames
back down to 14...  Here at Utah we're doing our best to fix this (but
our X implementation still doesn't work quite right yet).

Maybe you won't need to chop filenames in the future,
