There's something here that I'm missing.  The file name it tries is
clearly a result of some invalid concatenation of string, but I don't
quite see how that could happen.

Can you step through the code with GDB?  If yes, I will ask to show
values of some variables, and that will hopefully pinpoint the buggy
code.

Thanks.
