Description benedict 1999-05-18 08:59:18 UTC 
On HPUX 10.20 you will see the following:

$ rm
f234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
$ touch
f234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
$ rpm
--rcfile=f234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
Unable to open f234567890123456 for reading: No such file or
directory.

This is due to the code in lib/rpmrc.c:548:

	char fn[FILENAME_MAX+1];

because /usr/include/stdio.h defines FILENAME_MAX to 14 !!
