Hello.

Could someone be so kind to tell me what I am missing here.

:; pwd
/afs/isk.kth.se/home/j/janjoha/isk/mail/trash/2005/09/cur
:; ls | wc
   31706   31706  988987
:; ls | head -4
1125553784.15482_63.riker:2,S
1125553798.15482_66.riker:2,S
1125553842.15482_69.riker:2,S
1125553851.15482_73.riker:2,S

:; touch foo-with-a-long-name
touch: foo-with-a-long-name cannot create

This is clear we have hit the limit max file names in a directory
but

:; touch foo
:; touch bar

Now I would have expected that 'touch bar' would fail but
continuing with

:; touch kaka
:; touch farmoanka
:; touch kalleanka

still works.
