I'm unsure whether it is based on the number of characters or bytes of the entire path… or whether there is a separate restriction on the name itself.  Oddly, I don't seem to be getting an error in the result when trying to write a file with an overly long file name.

According to StackOverflow its 1024 bytes - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6581433/max-length-of-file-name
