	Any ideas on how to perform the testing?  I'm going to try to
	perform some operations on the vectors in my data sets, but I
	just can't think out anything better than that (to do in a
	reasonable time.)

	That's the problem of the already existing code, which is going
	to show up when someone will try to work with vector names
	longer than 192 characters.  Obviously, 200 should be replaced
	with GPATH_MAX.  That should be a separate patch.

	One reason behind these functions was to enable the compiler to
	recognize the errors like that and possibly emit a warning.

	ACK.

	ACK.  Thanks.
