Of course, all "cloning" needs to be changed too so that
the name pointer is not cloned (but assigned in a standard way).

The alternative would be to reserve a 64k buffer for the file
name in the *rec structures. I am not sure whether this is
intended and useful. And in 10 or 20 years this limit is breached
again and another change is necessary. Double work IMO.
