Long Pathname problems [message #9640]

We've just upgraded from IDL 4.0 to 5.0 on an SGI O2 running under IRIX 6.3.

We use an in-house animation routine which does a 'pwd' at first and then
changes to the path where the animation frames are found. The result of the
'pwd' is saved in a string variable and later, when trying to use this
variable, we receive the message, "Rediculously long path truncated..."

How can we prevent this from occuring? And why is there such a limit?

Thanks,
david
