Huge / deeply nested directories in XENIX

there are more restrictions in xenix prgms like find, pwd and rmdir concerning
directories. if you create dir trees deeper than ca. 64 levels messages like
path too long (pwd) and nesting too deep (find) will pop up. also rmdir -rf
won't remove such beasts.
i'm interested in this because lots of berkleyish software with very long
file/dir-names appears. will sys v release 4 take care of this ?
