+That's peculiar... You can have filenames longer than 14 characters, but only
+on some of the filesystems. Maybe you are using NFS. Anyway, to avoid problems
+I shall consider your system cannot support long filenames at all.

+How confusing! Some of your filesystems are sane enough to allow filenames
+longer than 14 characters but some others like /tmp can't even think about them.
+So, for now on, I shall assume your kernel does not allow them at all.
