Hello!
When using cygwin, i can't list, copy, remove files and directories with
128 utf-8 symbol long names.
useless examples that illustrates the problem:
it is OK with latin symbols:
$ a="$(perl -e 'print "x"x255')"; touch "$a" && { ls "$a"; rm "$a"; }
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
$ a="$(perl -e 'print "x"x256')"; touch "$a" && { ls "$a"; rm "$a"; }
touch: cannot touch
`xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx':
File name too long
but if i try with cyrillic, max long is just 127 symbols:
$ a="$(perl -e 'print "\xd0\xaf"x127')"; touch "$a" && { ls "$a"; rm "$a"; }
ÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐ
$ a="$(perl -e 'print "\xd0\xaf"x128')"; touch "$a" && { ls "$a"; rm "$a"; }
touch: cannot touch

File name too long
but users can create whith cmd.exe or powershell.exe or explorer.exe
files with 250+ long names with cyrillic symbols:
$ a="$(perl -e 'print "\xd0\xaf"x251')"; cmd /C "echo > $a" && ls -l
ls: cannot access

$ rm *; ls -l
rm: cannot remove

same problem with other tools - find, perl, rsync from cygwin repo.
Please, make the MAX_PATH not for 260 bytes, but 260 utf-8 symbols.
Thanks.
