Not so long filenames

HFS+ and Finder can use filenames which use in Utf-16 up to 255 shorts.

But in the program below there seems to exist some other limit (at least on 10.4.11 Tiger).
Where is this documented?
Or what am I doing wong?



#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>

int main (int argc, const char * argv[])
{
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

NSData *data = [ @"Some Data" dataUsingEncoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding ];
NSFileWrapper *aWrapper = [ [ NSFileWrapper alloc ] initRegularFileWithContents: data ];
NSString *f2 = [ NSString stringWithUTF8String: // 64 * DESERET CAPITAL LETTER LONG I
"𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀 𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀 𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀 𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀𐐀"// 64
];
[ aWrapper setPreferredFilename: f2 ];

NSLog(@"%s Filewrapper has preferred filename with %u shorts in Utf16; "
"Utf8 of fileSystemRepresentation has %u bytes",
__FUNCTION__, [ f2 length], strlen([f2 fileSystemRepresentation]));


NSTextAttachment *attachment = [ [ NSTextAttachment alloc ] initWithFileWrapper: aWrapper ];
NSAttributedString *textStorage = [ NSMutableAttributedString attributedStringWithAttachment: attachment ];


NSRange all = NSMakeRange( 0, [ textStorage length ] );
NSFileWrapper *fw = [ textStorage RTFDFileWrapperFromRange: all documentAttributes: nil ];
if ( fw == nil ) // error
{
NSLog(@"%s Error: RTFDFileWrapperFromRange",__FUNCTION__);
return 1;
};

NSString *path = @"/tmp/a.rtfd";
BOOL ok = [ fw writeToFile: path atomically: NO updateFilenames: NO ];
if ( !ok ) // error
{
// we come here if strlen([f2 fileSystemRepresentation]) > 255

NSLog(@"%s Error: writeToFile",__FUNCTION__);
return 2;
};


	NSLog(@"%s wrote rtfd wrapper %@",__FUNCTION__, path);

    [pool release];
    return 0;
}

Result:

... Filewrapper has preferred filename with 128 shorts in Utf16; Utf8 of fileSystemRepresentation has 256 bytes
... Error: writeToFile
Filename has exited with status 2.
