Hi,

Is there a certain reason that MAX_MODULE_LEN is defined as 16 in tux_u.h? 
This is quite short compared to MAXFILE_LEN (4096) in stdio.h. If this is 
intended to be so short, it would be helpfull if it was mentioned in the 
documentation that the filename of a module must not exceed 16 characters.

Also the user space tux.c should not register a longer module name but should 
complain and not load the module. Right now, tux accepts longer names but 
truncates the internal name to 16 characters. Any module which has a longer 
name can only be requested by its truncated name.

Bye, Marcus
