opendir() and @dirlist()

[John Esak]

Enrique,
You are right. There is absolutely something wrong going on when @dirlist
hits a filename longer thatn 32 characters. It appears to just not inlude
it.

I put the following into /tmp.


     kkkow
     kkk123456789012345678901234567890fred
     kkkowwww
     kkkhello

then I did an    openddir("kkk*","/tmp/")

And @dirlist elements 0,1,2.3 are filled with

kkkow
kkkowww
kkkhello

The filename greater than 32 characters is just ignored.

John
