I also noticed it a few days ago, with the same file (or a similar one).
I was convinced that 80 characters for the file name were enough, but
apparently, even in not-so-uncommon cases, they aren't.

Correct. This is why I didn't fix it immediately: if one is not careful,
the problem may re-appear in another part of the code. Anyway I'll fix
it sooner or later. Thank you for reporting this
