I don't think this is accurate, particularly not for network file
systems and file systems that use UCS-2 or UTF-16 internally.  The
latter typically have their own 255 character limit, but a character can
take up to 3 bytes in UTF-8 (as used by Linux).

This is why we deprecated readdir_r.

Thanks,
