It should be a buffer that contains only the file name in that case, because
I can have a path the double in length and it works, provided that the file
name alone sticks to 8.3 convention. You can try restoring something to
c:/mike.gdb
and
c:/mike_gdb_long_name.gdb
and see for yourself that the second case fails, although it seems to create
the db.
