That's to do with long file names, IIRC. If you write an FS driver that
only supports the 8.3 convention, I believe you're in safe waters.

Besides, companies have been shipping Linux distros for years that fully
support FAT32 with LFNs without any problems. Well, actually, I might
have to eat my words — I think the TomTom debacle was something to do
with FAT.
