Nope. If your program tries to open getpagesize.h on an 8.3 machine, you'll automatically get getpages.h. The problems happen when you have *two* files that would have the *same* 8.3 name, like getpagesize.h and getpagespeed.h. Or when you try to use a file that has 8.3-illegal characters, like "some file.h", or that differ only in case, like string.h and String.h.
