It should be mentioned that this bug is not restricted to FDNPKG, but may affect any program that uses LFNs - so, for example, all programs using HX's Win32 emulation layer; also, programs created by Open Watcom with the __WATCOM_LFN__ define. And I guess quite a few more...

See this nice little discussion here: https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/VSBHDA/issues/59
