Under Linux the maximum file length is 255 character. Gnome's Nautilus allows that length. Any larger and Nautilus or a terminal command like 'cp' complains. FindFile / FindNext however seems to have a 253 character limit! Why the difference when the OS can support up to 255 characters?
I believe that this is caused by lack of careful testing. Some time ago I've found a similar-looking limitation in Windows commandline handling and posted a patch (Mantis #10175). Btw, strange to hear about 255 character limit on Linux. Its headers define MAX_PATH value as 4097.
