Long Filenames in OSX

Hello.

When I get the detailed files of a directory in OSX, if the filename is 
too long, I get back:

abcdefghijklmnopqrstu#491A9.rev

(where the filename continues after the u continues 
...uvwyzabcdefghijklm.rev).

How do I get back the real (long) filename?  I guess #491A9 is some 
reference into the TOC or some hidden file??

I've tried all possibilities, however remote:  longFilePath 'effective 
filename', even 'aliasReference'.

Any clues?

Thanks for any help,
