In a recent thread, it's mentioned that Hugs should ideally support arbitrarily long file names: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/hugs-bugs/2003-April/001181.html

From Ross's reply, it seems that this is not a completely trivial fix. Perhaps we could put a bandaid on it with a #define of MAXPATHLEN as suggested in the Debian bug report:
