I think HFS has a file/folder name length limit of 31 characters, and

I think Antonio hit it on the nose.
On my G4, I have OS 10.2.8 installed on a hard drive formatted as HFS+,
and 9.2.2 installed on a different hard drive formatted as HFS.
Copying files with long names from the 10.2.8 drive to the 9.2.2 drive
always results in an error.
Initially, I thought it was OS X that raised the filename length limit
but then I realized it was more likely that it was HFS+ vs. standard
HFS.
