On my 6.4R VS3100, when I do:
    Toto>ar rv libkrb.a read_service_key.o
    a - read_service_key.o
    ar: filename read_service_key.o truncated to read_service_ke
    Toto>
It duplicates the file instead of replacing it [listing truncated]:
    Toto>ar tv libkrb.a
    rw-rw-r--17822/8838   1978 Feb 28 15:08 1990 __.SYMDEF
    rwxrwxr-x11211/248    412 Nov 21 16:00 1989 kntoln.o
    rwxrwxr-x11211/248    777 Nov 21 16:14 1989 read_service_ke
    rw-rw-r--11211/248   3071 Nov 21 15:46 1989 krb_err.o
    rw-rw-r--17822/8838    815 Feb 28 15:03 1990 read_service_ke
    Toto>

It added read_service_key.o to the archive as a second file named
"read_service_ke" instead of putting this new version in in place of
the older one.  I suspect this is because it is comparing the
truncated name against the full name somewhere.
