"The file AUX.H is too large for the system"

That's a bug. It should say something closer to "The filename AUX.H is a reserved filename and can not be used by this system"

I just tried it on Windows 10, and the error message is:

    This file name is reserved for use by Windows. Choose another name and try again.
So at least that has been fixed.

Never used it. What’s this screenshot from?

That's Win10. I suspect in that screenshot that the file is indeed too big for the filesystem. I don't know how that could be (the "no more free space" message is different.)

9.57KBytes? That would be a very full disk!

Or a very oddly formatted one.

The disk full message is different, so my money is on an oddly formatted disk.
