It's the first time I'm hearing this with Linux/glibc. If either of
you could come up with a small test program which shows the bug (try
to figure out what KDE or whatever program shows this behaviour does
to get the filename and print it), it might be possible to fix
it. From your description it looks like an off by one error but I
don't know where.
