No, this is not the case. It is created via a script but I checked it too
after your answer with a very wide terminal ,-) Can it be that the filename
is too long or the overall line lenght is too long? I attached the file to
this mail so you can check.

Okay, quite easy then.

So for performance reasons It would be another issue to put the referenced
files on a ramdisk. Although I think this will be a small improvement only
as this files are read only and not written to.
