Well, this "feature", at least, is pretty easy to fix.  Go to
/etc/conf/cf.d and run configure.  Choose "Disk and Filesystem
Parameters" (option #3, I think), and change the "ETRUNCATE" (or
whatever it's called...The one about POSIX filename truncation) from
the default value of "0" to "1".  Relink, reboot, and viola, you have
regular UNIX behavior for long filenames.
