Depending on the exact win32 api used there is a 257 limit on windows.
The 257 includes 2 for the device, C:, and 255 for the path part that will use 
1 for the leading \. Getting an error for a name that is 255 is not surprising.

Other api allow for 65535 limit, not sure on its additional limits.
