Fix for _D_EXACT_NAMELEN(d) macro none

Description Mark Hatle 2004-07-26 21:19:04 UTC 
Description of problem:
RPM > 4.1 contains a bug when building on solaris.

Specifically if you have a filepath/name that looks like:

/mypath/foo/foo

RPM reports a cyclical link and aborts.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.3.x definatly has this problem, I did not check 4.2.

Fix for _D_EXACT_NAMELEN(d) macro

The following is the proper way to detect the filename length.	The old
mechanism used the whole record length, which causes problems.

Checked in, will be in rpm-4.4.5-0.5 when built.
