It seems that some special cases aren't handled.  For example, the 
program assumes that any short file name with a numeric tail must have
8 characters in its basename.  This is not true for file names like 
".emacs" which have an SFN "emacs~1".

Also, if numeric tails are disabled, the program might fail for files
whose short names don't have numeric tails.
