Well, that'll change the original behavior: without the patch the
filename gets printed as is no matter how long it is. If you're
concerned about the memory consumption, then recoded_filename can be
malloc'ed dynamically. But things'll be slowed down a bit....

As I said it'll benefit CJK users who use one of the legacy encodings
(GBK, Big5, or SJIS) the most. People who are either English-speaking
or using UTF-8 won't even feel the need.
