bug#11585: 24.0.50; corrupted byte compiled files

[Pierre Lorenzon]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':


Hi,

Certain of my .el files are incorrectly compiled. See the .elc
file with a long name.

More details : It seems that a part of the .elc file is missing
as if a part of the character strream was discarded. I cannot
figure out why.

But more suprisingly when renaming the file with a much more
shorter name everything goes well as if there was a limitation
in the file name length. I must point out that there are only
ascii characters composing the file name.

Moreover even with the long name the .el (uncompiled file) is
perfectly correct and load perfectly as well as the .elc
(compiled file) with the short name.

I had this problem with emacs 24.0.50 as well as witth
24.0.95. I should say that I am using these devloppeing
versions since I appreciate ieieio to be integrated in it. I
never had this compilation problem with emacs 23 but probalbly
never tried with so long file names. Moreover emacs 23 is no
longer available on my system to test. But if it could be
useful I can reinstall this stable version.

See examples attached.

Is there a limitation somewhere ? 

Regards 

Pierre
