I don't think this is the correct way to handle this. A valid entry_ref is not allowed to use more than B_FILE_NAME_LENGTH characters so this shouldn't happen. If it does anyway, an error should be raised. Your code will just omit the name from the xfer_entry_ref, making it invalid, but will let the application continue and use it anyway. Since this is an unexpected condition (a file name longer than B_FILE_NAME_LENGTH is not allowed), the code should probably call debugger() if this happens.
