This may even be legal, seeing that /usr/include/sys/syslimits.h has #define NAME_MAX 255 /* max bytes in a file name */ I don't know if this number includes the path component or only the basename, though. The basename itself, even extended by "-dpkg-new", is only 244 characters. As buffer overflows do not always lead to crashes, this would explain the sort of non-deterministic behavior of the package. Anayway, I guess this should be treated as a bug in sbcl. It doesn't really need that outrageously named file, which only contains a URL redirection, anyway, and does not seem to be linked to by any of the other documentation files. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
