Description

Art's PostCloseFileRenamer.cc is imposing a needless(?) boost-imposed limit of 260 characters on length of output file names.

The Linux filename limit is 255 characters. This is not something that can be adjusted.

Note that the temporary filename ('RootOutput-5396-6db9-aab1-853e.root') is being renamed to something that has checksums in it:

79f25fee-5d4d-4436-a069-48ae0570a178-test_genie_bnb_nu_cosmics_filtered_CCPiZero_uboone_highstats_229_20170714T083433_gen2_8d9cc4c5-1cbb-49c4-a035-b07_13c2eece-b5ff-4b64-83de-4476368572ea_20171122T164524_detsim_20171122T170028_reco1_20171122T171524_reco2.root

It appears that there have been failures in the workflow that lead to filenames with checksums in them. Are you aware of how these checksums came to be in the filename?
