It's a Known problem. The last time the issue was raised a quick/cheap
fix was made to prevent mp2enc from coredumping (and the length limit
raised slightly) but the problem wasn't really "fixed".

Those programs use the MAXPATHLEN value from the system header files
I believe. If 1024 characters (which is the value on some systems
as I recall) isn't enough it's time to rethink the application ;)
The long term fix is to either raise the limit in mp2enc or use
dynamically allocated buffers. It's on the TODO list.
