On WinXP, 3.1, I get
...
mkdir: 242
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Programs\Python31\misc\t1.py", line 14, in <module>
    os.mkdir(s)
WindowsError: [Error 206] The filename or extension is too long: 'C:\\Programs\\Python31\\misc\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab\\aaaaab'
