severity 390793 minor
reassign 390793 genisoimage 1.1.2-1
thanks

I think that this bug is too important for wishlist severity: as many
(nearly all) systems rely on file name extensions to know the type of a
file, this breaks things.  For example, appliances which play data CDs
with MP3s: long names get their ".mp3" extension truncated, and
therefore the player skips them and offers no means to play them.

Also, I reassigned the bug to genisoimage because, near as I can tell,
mkisofs is old news, and this will help get the bug seen.  It certainly
applies to genisoimage.  Sorry if this is incorrect or stepping on
anyone's toes.

Here's how to reproduce the problem:

$ mkdir sample_root
$ touch 
sample_root/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.foo
$ genisoimage -J -o sample.iso sample_root
