POSIX says PATH_MAX should be defined to the maximum path length, if
such a limit exists.  As the GNU system does not have this (or any other
arbitrary) limit, PATH_MAX is not defined.

The clean solution is to allocate the needed space dynamically.  We will
come up with a patch shortly.


cheers,

Michael
