Shouldn't this value be a higher limit, now that we have 9P2000?

Since most of the time dealing with reallylongfilenames.java happens
under APE, it can be annoying.  For example, it causes problems with
ape/sh when using lnfs:

term% ape/sh
$ lnfs /n/kremvax
$ ls -l /n/kremvax
a-r--r--r-- M 459 fst sys 128 Oct 17 23:46 /n/kremvax/.longnames
--r--r--r-- M 459 fst sys   0 Oct 17 23:46 /n/kremvax/alongandboringnameforafile12344
--r--r--r-- M 459 fst sys   0 Oct 17 23:45 /n/kremvax/alongandboringnameforafile12345

$ ls -l /n/kremvax/anawf*
ls: /n/kremvax/anawfullylongandboringname1: '/n/kremvax/anawfullylongandboringname1' file does not exist
ls: /n/kremvax/anawfullylongandboringname1: '/n/kremvax/anawfullylongandboringname1' file does not exist

Anyone care if I just set it to 127?  I don't see that it would break
anything though some globbing might eat up a lot of memory.
