Last I know of, Moz was still using the old file APIs which are limited to 31 
characters on Mac.  This is probably a dupe.

It'll be fixed by bug 95481 when we're using HFS+ instead of HFS. Working on it,
but it's a large project.

I'm reopening and making this dependent on bug 95481, and making this a testcase
for file URLs.

Bill: please file a separate bug, put it in whatever component that belongs in
(Forms?) and mark it a DEPENDS of this bug, so it can be tested when this is fixed.

The Mach-0 build of mozilla doesn't have this problem, so none of the pile of
problems this causes. The future is the Mach-0 build.

Sorry for the spam. Fizzilla CFM build is dead; should this bug go with it?

Comment 16

[Steve Dagley]

Updated summary to reflect this was a CFM bug and marking WONTFIX since the CFM
build is dead and the Mach-O build doesn't have this problem.
