 ah!  I've only c.10 names ≥ 100 chars, longest 126,
 generally rather different (and am not sure ATM if
 they are file- or dir-names).  all of which suggests
 why I've never seen this failure.

 I concur with yer guess it's a mkisofs(1) problem but
 have no actual proof/data one way or the other.

cheers!
