As a side note: rsyslog is actually already using an arbitrary value in
its Load() function, so I'm not introducing a new oddity.
The problem with PATH_MAX really is that people take it as a "reasonable
size for path", which it is not meant to be, and can't be because
of its intrication with the realpath() interface, which quite a few
applications do rely on.
Could somebody on debian-hurd add the information
I have written to the PATH_MAX part of
https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/porting/guidelines.html so we
don't have to repeat this over and over?
