What happened?

When running conda build for my package on Windows, I sometimes get this:

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 206] The filename or extension is too long

Sometimes rebooting the computer make it work, but not always. On the theory that i have file names that are too long, I shortened some of them, and that made it work for a while, but now it doesn't work anymore. It seems somewhat random. My package is huge and has many files. I've had this problem for the last several versions of conda and conda-build that I have tried.

Any ideas or suggestions? Seems like a Windows-specific issue (the same package builds fine on Linux and Mac).
