Of course, but my point was that we already have a 35 char filename in the 
kernel, and lots of > 22 chars, so increasing it is not unreasonable.

FYI make allmodconfig here gives me the following of 21 chars or longer:

dvb-usb-af9005-remote
dvb-usb-dibusb-common
nf_conntrack_netbios_ns
nf_conntrack_proto_udplite
nf_conntrack_proto_sctp
nf_conntrack_proto_gre

Rusty.
