No, I really don't.

Right now, there is code in natFilePosix.cc that says:
   char buf2[MAXPATHLEN];

That code is obviously working for all platforms currently, because
no-one else is getting compile time failures for that file. Thus,
the code is currently limited to whatever MAXPATHLEN is defined as
on every other system out there, except mine. So this function is
"limited" already, on every other system.


Actually that is not true, it fails on x86-gnu aka HURD.
