The internal format of Coda directories doesn't allow them to grow past
a total size of 256KB. A directory page is 2KB, and we have 128 pointers
to these pages. Although both of these constants can be changed, any
such change will require a rebuild and reinitialization of both the
clients and the servers before they can the new directory layout. And
even with all that effort, we just pushed the limit a little further
instead of actually solving the problem.

At some point during the copy, create will fail because there is not
enough room to add the new name entry to the directory.
