A recently built sbcl-1.0.38 won't install:

error: unpacking of archive failed on file 
/usr/share/doc/sbcl-1.0.38/sbcl/Method-

auto_002dclose_0029.html;4be416e1: cpio: open failed - File name too long


Seems this file grew in length a bit since the last build.  Any suggested 
fixes? (other than whacking whatever created the crazy overly long 
filename)?
