Surprise, surprise, I somehow expected that... ;-)
But I was actually more interested in the maximum length the filesystem
will handle. Is it the length that you specified when creating the
filesystem with minit or is there a bug?  Why does "ls" work with
these extra-long filenames and why does "ls *" not work?

If I understood the sources of the MiNTLib correctly, if you
compiled your MiNTLib with "#define __MINT__" it should pass
a buffer of 128 bytes length.

Ciao
