Actually, since path is only used in the code block near the end of the funtion
there is no point initializing path here, because that creates multiple places
where you would need to free it.  Just move the declaration of path and the
asprintf into the code block.

char *path = NULL;

if (asprintf(...) == -1)
  longjmp(pcb->pcb_jumpbuf, EDT_NOMEM);

free(path)
