Well, if the size of tem was MAXPATHLEN, but the size of name was PATH_MAX or similar, and PATH_MAX is 1024 and MAXPATHLEN is 269 (or whatever it was), and your filename is long... that's a problem. I think the right fix is the one we were discussing earlier: all code that wants a static buffer large enough to house a pathname should be changed to use PATH_MAX, and we can tweak out make.h to set PATH_MAX to a useful value on any system where it's not yet set. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
