There is no such limit on Hurd, so IMHO the code shouldn't enforce one. > Does GNU/Hurd know about _POSIX_PATH_MAX? It seems to, but that's just a little bit less ugly than what I did. Please see https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/community/gsoc/project_ideas/maxpath.html and https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/porting/guidelines.html#PATH_MAX_tt_MAX_PATH_tt_MAXPATHL The latter suggests to define PATH_MAX as NULL, but there might be some corner cases where it needs more than just using NULL, maybe some additional checks for the value of PATH_MAX or so.
