Actually you are wrong. It was compiled (as the makefile was used) with
BSD4_2 defined. Here is the fragment of code:
#ifndef BSD4_2 /* Short filenames */
if ((cp=rindex(ofname,'/')) != NULL) cp++;
else cp = ofname;
if (strlen(cp) > 12) {
fprintf(stderr,"%s: filename too long to tack on .Z\n",cp);
continue;
}
#endif /* BSD4_2 Long filenames allowed */
I wonder what hand compiling was used with the previous version.
Note: The same problem exists on the vax (from looking at the Makefile,
but not the executable).
Perhaps the Makefile should be fixed....
