Hi!

Initially I sent this patch to [email protected], through fencepost, and
got a bounce.  Also, I went to look for the archives, but it seems that
bug-less is not a list?

Greetings,

Subject: [PATCH] Avoid usage of PATH_MAX.

* filename.c (lrealpath): Have realpath allocate the buffer.  Fixes
compilation on the Hurd and avoids possible buffer overflow on other
systems.
