Hi,
I'm using Cygwin 1.7.7 in UTF-8 mode. I have a file whose name is composed =
of Hebrew character, so the UTF-8 representation is longer than 255 charact=
ers.
Trying "ls -l" fails to list the file's attributes.
Using a short C program that loops through a directory (readdir()/stat()) s=
hows that readdir() truncates the file name.
Is there any way around it? (using environment variable, fstab or system ca=
ll other readdir - I want to keep UTF-8)

Thanks,
Uri.
