Here's a bit of a hack.

I'll put something like it in soon (though I may clean up some of the 3x 
copy/paste reuse).

I'm guessing to get a name long enough to reach any file system limits 
(even for the MS file systems), you're putting description in the 
filename, right?  Is that really what you want to do?
