The problem COULD be that MiNTLibs defines the maximum size of a filename
to 32 chars. Maybe running programs compiled with MiNTLibs on partitions
with n=4 (62 char filenames) screws up the internal structures? If this
is true then it explains the problems with fileutils and tcsh.

Could someone with knowledge about this check it out, please!
