Yes that's possible (an older version of FreeBSD), but those are 8.3 filenames. They are clearly only really written for MSDOS. Are you sure you got the linux version? And do they really show up as long filenames in Linux? Show me the output. I'd be impressed, but would have no idea how you could see long filenames in linux and not in FreeBSD.
