"Filename too long"?

[Ed Boraas <ed@tao.ca>]

While puttering around my hurd machine, I occasionally find files where
operations performed on them (cat, cp, even a simple ls) fails saying
"filename too long". One such file happens to be the SETUP script... which
is obviously not a long filename. THese are normal files, and this seems
to happen at random (it's hit one of my libraries, too). Is this a
filesystem problem? I'm using the GNU-0.2 binary distribution.

I'm also finding that my GCC doesn't work... it just "hangs" at the
console where i can kill it with ctrl-c. It doesn't seem to matter how i
invoke gcc, it just sits there. Everything else works fine, including the
games :)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
ed.
