Ah, thanks.  My understanding from talking to the MSVC library people
is that this is no longer a problem.  That is, if you see this problem
now, it's because you're pulling filenames off of a file system from
an old version of Windows.  There hasn't been a Windows OS one in the
last few years that suffers from this.
