Actually I'm testing things like

while [ true ]; do
  ls ///////////////////////////////////////////////////(1400 /)
done

it works, but when I try

while [ true ]; do
  ls ///////////////////////////////////////////////////(5400 /)
done

I get "too long file name" warning.

Also works for ~/// and ///dir1///dir2
