If I recall, it isn't just the number of files that are built, but how they
are added to the directory structure that determines when the directory is
"full". Generally you can add more files to the directory if they are being
added in alphabetical order.

The limit is usually somewhere around 35,000 - 40,000 files according to
small-d donna's post (Re: [HP3000-L] XM Logfile size and XM logging of
Powerhouse subfiles) of June 28th, and who am I to question her.
