Well, that's strange.  This pathname is only 115 characters.  Windows can support up to 260 characters for MAX_PATH:

 

"openvrml-0.18.6\ide-projects\Windows\VisualC9_0\OpenVRML\x3d-environmental-effects\x3d-environmental-effects.vcproj"

 

Length of the path should not be a problem here.

 

I also tried GnuWin32 tar and gzip commandline tools, and it still doesn't list those files.

Have not tried Cygwin.
