no one? I've tried Dpathconf() to see what's the current filename limit 
- it returned 255 for both ext2 and fat32! (the filesystems where I 
created that undeletable files). I've got such feeling somewhere in 
mint(lib) sources is defined maximum value of 128 for some buffer(s) and 
then really bad things happen if the file if >= 128 characters long - 
some check will say "yeah, no problem, let's create it" and some other 
function will use only 128 bytes long buffer... but this is just a 
guess... maybe someone more experienced could explain this...
