Subject: Re: Use PATH_MAX for pathname char arrays.

Hello,
Using PATH_MAX is not a good idea: POSIX says that that definition
is facultative, in case the system does not impose any limit on path
length. Some systems may also set PATH_MAX to a quite high value, and
we would hence consume a lot of stack.
