No SDF/FITS datafiles were found in outputdir when dataout is too long

Hi,

I encountered an error when using PICARD. Below is the error message,

No SDF/FITS datafiles were found in outputdir /Volumes/AKiTiO/test1/test2/test3/test4/test5/test6/test7/test8/test1111111111111123/PICARDworkingnx6f4grk
PICARD ended with an error! You may or may not care about this.

After trial and error, I found that if the length of the parameter dataout is more than 84, this error will occur.

I suspect this is coming from Starlink itself, rather than from the python wrapper. We've fixed a lot of the fixed path length limits, I'll see if I can find this one. Thanks for letting me know how long it was, that helps a lot!
