I really think this MAX_PATH thing is a bad idea. You can argue that a
system with paths that deep is broken, but I think a suckless program
should be able to work in sucky environments as well.
Do you realize how deep is 4096 characters? Have you tried to make a
path that long? Have you ever seen the following error message? If cd
fails, why expect dmenu_path would work?
cd: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent
directories: File name too long
For your testing pleasure, here's a skript that creates a deep path.
for i in `seq 1 100`;do mkdir thisisalonglongstringthisisalonglongst$i;
cd thisisalonglongstringthisisalonglongst$i;done
