(not sure which test you are referring to: the test case, or the
test for too long path names:) I think both tests need to stay.

Instead, I think that testMaxPathLen is incorrect: it doesn't
take into account the terminating NUL, which also must fit
into the 108 bytes (IIUC). baikie: why did the test pass for
you?
