Description:
The test backup_misc is failing on Windows PB machines in both the mysql-6.0-backup and mysql-backport-backup tree. 

NOTE: The solution for this bug *must* be merged and/or pushed to all backup trees as it affects both 5.X and 6.0 code.

The failure is:

backup.backup_misc                       [ fail ]
        Test ended at 2010-01-29 22:28:34

The result from queries just before the failure was:

Retrying test, attempt(2/3)...

How to repeat:
./mysql-test-run.pl backup_misc

Suggested fix:
The cause of the error is a file name that is too long for the Windows platform. The fix should take this limitation into consideration and reduce the length of the name of the file or create a new test specifically for Windows. The verifier prefers the former.

      Bug #50844 BACKPORT: The test backup_misc is failing on Windows machines
      
      Windows has a limit of 255 chars on filename lenght but this limit
      includes the length of path too.
      
      Reducing the file name length in case to lower value fixes this problem. 
     @ mysql-test/suite/backup/r/backup_misc.result
        Updated result file.
     @ mysql-test/suite/backup/t/backup_misc.test
        Reduced the length of file name to 125 chars.
        INVALID_FILE_NAME length is still 256 toensure that
        it fails on all platforms.
