Indeed, I can reproduce it here, and also with Emacs-23.
I don't have time to dig into it now, tho, so please M-x
report-emacs-bug so it doesn't get lost.

Does that mean that none never tried to compile file with
long name before .... or that the problem does not come
exclusively from the length of the name ....

OK I'll do that. But since I now know that there is really a
problem I'll have a look at the byte compiling engine
code. Maybe I can discover where is th problem ....

Argh, some very recent change in trunk seems to have hosed
byte-compilation altogether for me. I have several emacs addon packages
like Gnus, AUCTeX, helm cloned from their repositories, and as soon as I
byte-compile those with today's emacs (revno 108437), they won't work at
all. It seems there are complete functions missing in the elc files and
I get dozens of "Wrong type argument" errors at different locations.
After deleting all elc files and running from the plain elisp sources,
everything works again.

Yes, those are the same symptoms I have here. Thanks for the pointer.

Hi,

I think that the problem is different from mine. Indeed the
compilation problem I encountered was due to the
byte-compile-fix-header method which was clearly bugged. But
we solved that.
