could you indicate the path that was too long?
Maybe I missed some 'prefix'
Also check if you have the latest version
(head /usr/share/tla/Changelog)
if you don't have v0.10, please upgrade and try again.

not so, the bundled tar converts the paths to collapsed paths
before interacting with the filesystem, and the other way around
before writing to the tar file...

I agree. Unfortunately, FAT32 does not seem to have an equivalent
of "inode" numbers, which NTFS does seem to have and tla needs.

mind you that cygwin-tla and tla only interoperate at the (public) archive
level, so you will not be able to use tla-linux and tla-cygwin on the same
directory/archives. (although you could compile tla with my patch on linux
to do so!)
