On MS Windows, there's actually a limit of 255 characters, cf.
http://www.aroma-project.org/howtos/UseLongFilenamesOnWindows/
(disclaimer: I'm the author). Note particularly the comment at the

"Unfortunately it is not a solution to try to use relative instead of
absolute pathnames. The limitation is deep down in the file system
itself and it is the absolute pathname that counts."
Admittedly, it's been several years when I last looked into it, but at
the time when I wrote that I spent lots of time investigating it.
