I would guess that it means you have pathnames on your system that are
longer than the (max allowed) of 1024.  i.e.
 "/usr/foo/...1020chars.../bar/baz"

If that's the case then you can solve it by moving the offending files to
a not-so-nested directory.  Or you could try to increase the value of
MAXPATHLEN, but I'm not sure where that's defined or what would break if
it changed.
