Missed this one when it came through the first time. Note: Not
volunteering, just commenting on the how-fix :P
Using GetShortPathName() will break on any system that has disabled
short filename generatino, which IIRC is a recommended best practice
both for performance and for security in legacy apps. I don't know what
it does, but probably it will just return the same long path again.
