I remember something vague about the number of entries in a directory on 
FAT (not FAT32) partitions but I'm not sure whether it applies to files,
directories, or both (probably both).  Depending on what the restriction 
is, this may be a good argument for being cautious of putting too much 
stuff in bin.  Anybody remember more about this FAT limitation?
