Hi,

Please drop this patch — I got it wrong. The "whic" here is
intentional: each LFN slot holds 13 characters, and the word
"which" is deliberately split across slot #2 ("xtension whic")
and slot #3 ("h is long"). The concatenated name is
"My Big File.Extension which is long".

My change makes slot #2 fourteen characters and would render the
example incorrect. Sorry for the noise, and thanks for the ack —
but it shouldn't be applied.

Thanks,
Kamal
