I don't have the original file available anymore so I couldn't provide a
diff or patch easily. But you simply have to replace in recording.c the
line with "#define FINDCMD" and the "sprintf..." with the lines I have
provided.

That's true, but that's kind of brute-force. ;-)

I am fine for now with my solution which works pretty fast even with NFS
and a lot of recordings. 
BTW, I have also modified the code further to have the more permanent
cutted recordings starting with "%" sorted to the end of the list. This
makes searching for the temporary recordings more convenient.
