`_dos_findfirst' and `_dos_findnext' don't support long file names.
Use the alternative functions `findfirst' and `findnext' instead. (This 
should be in the docs, but it isn't; I'll submit a patch for the next 
release.)

Better yet, use `opendir' and `readdir' which also support long names, 
but are Posix-standard and will therefore work on a wider range of 
different platforms/compilers.
