Thank you, that is sensible, but have you actually verified that attempting a lookup of a filename longer than 2.2 billion bytes causes a problem? If that's the case, then your patch should be considered. If not, it would seem to be a waste of time to worry about something that cannot ever happen.
Kind regards, Tigran
