New submission from Jean-Paul Calderone <exarkun at divmod.com>:
$ python -c "print len('`pwd`'); import os; print os.getcwd()"
1174
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in ?
OSError: [Errno 34] Numerical result out of range
$
The getcwd man page documents the ERANGE failure and suggests that the
calling application allocate a larger buffer and try again.
