Hi,

Hmm, the code in sys/lib/libsa/cd9660.c includes subdirectory searching
code; it even cannot (currently) be compiled without this support.

                      ^^^^^^^^
Certainly you mean libsa here.

Hmm, are you sure with this?  The code in there doesn't even have any
length checks against some fixed maximum at all.  It should be able
to even find longer names than the allowed 32 characters, if those were
recorded on the disk.

If it couldn't find a file with that name, but could find a file with
a shorter name, there is something strange going on there.  Could you
send me (privately of course) an image of the first 128k or so of the
cd image?  Or put it up on zhadum somewhere?

Ciao,
Wolfgang
