    It would be interesting to see the distribution of file name
    lengths on a BSD system (where the limit is probably essentially
    infinite for all but the most perverse user or application), to
    see if there's a bend in the curve suggesting a lower maximum
    length, and then see how a fixed-length-entry scheme supporting
    that maximum length does vs. the BSD scheme.

As a somewhat atypical user, here is a shortened version of our usage:


10 18751  7.18% 129239  49.52%
20  4641  1.78% 215141  82.44%
24  6600  2.53% 233930  89.64%
30  1711  0.66% 246614  94.50%
35  1787  0.68% 255721  97.99%
40   480  0.18% 259722  99.52%
45   117  0.04% 260771  99.92%
50    16  0.01% 260921  99.98%
55     1  0.00% 260964  99.99%
60     2  0.00% 260976 100.00%
65     0  0.00% 260978 100.00%
69     1  0.00% 260979 100.00%
