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.
