I guess the test is to continually add a dir recursively inside your
temporary directory, and see at what point the save fails - then try
a save from a different app. It could still be a problem in NetSurf
when it has a long filepath to deal with. The other test is to use
short and long names for the directories to see if it is simply the
length of path, or the depth of the path.
Actually I have just tried a test and Netsurf does go into a black
hole when the path is long. It does not need to be the same save. Eg
save the location text into a deep directory. Goes ok. Open another
save dialogue, e.g. save full page - NS exits immediately the save as
dialogue opens. There may be a problem with memory buffering for the
file names.
