Long Filename Problem is Ubiquitous

See other thread on long file names for player refs... two days I  
upped the ante on a stack file name (disk file name)

HPI-Daily-Generator_June-23-2005.rev

Now, when my managing editor finishes his work and tries to save  
this, Rev responds that it is unable to create the temp back up file  
(or something like that) promptly quits with the stack unsaved.  
Fortunately he had already run the process to send the email to the  
list and upload our daily news feed...so, we were not burnt... this  
time... the temp file is there in the finder with some hashed  
characters toward the end... I deleted that and changed the file name  
back to "HPI-Generator_Jun-23-05.rev" and now it saves fine.

Do I need to bugzilla this or is that part of the earlier bug of Nov  
04? (our firewall is down, I won't see bugzilla till tomorrow, office  
hours)

Aloha
