Hi,

I'm using the default install of DJGPP 2.03 currently available from 
www.delorie.com.

If I create a file called test.c like so:
int main() { return 0; }

...this compiles fine.

If I rename the file to testtesttest.c and compile it, I get this:

cc1.exe: testtesttest.c: No such file or directory (ENOENT)

Changing the LFN setting in DJGPP.ENV doesn't affect anything, nor does 
manually setting LFN=y (or LFN=n) as an environment variable prior to 
compiling...

Tim.
