Look at the man page for mk9660:
it isn't a bug. ISO9660 requires
8.3 filenames so non-conformant
names are converted to {F,D}NNNNNN.
with F for files and D for directories.
I haven't looked at the CD image yet,
but it probably has joliet path tables
and probably Plan 9 or system use
fields (mk9660 also supports RRIP
system use fields). ISO9660 and
friends are truly brain damaged as
Russ and I found out when we wrote
dump9660. That said, there are some
bugs in the distributed version that
make Win2K and NT unhappy. Now that
they are quashed (I hope), the next
update should have fixes.
