Thanks.
I'm tempted to look at rolling out 5.2.4.1 to fix this (and similar) problems,
since they significantly hamper use of these tarballs on Windows
systems. But it's probably sensible to get 5.4.1 out (or mostly out) first.

Yup - I suspected it was something like that :-)



Problem #3:
Now we've moved to SVN, can we perhaps address the issue of
over-long filenames. Unpacking the tarball (sans .svn directories) under
Windows gave me twenty warnings about one file overwriting another.
Closer examination showed three distinct groups:

a) mibgroup/ip-forward-mib/inetCidrRouteTable/
inetCidrRouteTable_data_access.{c,h}

b) mibgroup/snmp-notification-mib/snmpNotifyFilterTable/
snmpNotifyFilterTable* (7 files)

c) mibgroup/snmp-usm-dh-objects-mib/usmDHUserKeyTable/
usmDHUserKeyTable* (11 files)

The usmDHUserKeyTable isn't too much of a problem, since this
table isn't part of a default setup. But the other clashes mean that
a default build will fail.

I'm not sure whether it's the length of the full path that's causing
the problem, or (?less likely) the length of the common prefix.
But in either case, could we perhaps look at renaming these files
so that they will unpack cleanly?
