Even a 1 byte file takes up quite a bit of space, but I don't think you
were running out of disk space, just out of long file name tables
(or whatever scheme is used to store LFN's).

The options seem to be:
1. Use XP or NT
2. split up the files into different directories, that's probably a hassle.
3. find some way to use only 8.3 filenames
