Here's a patch. If PATH_MAX is defined, a static buffer is used. I left the arbitrary path length version since apparently some systems (HURD) don't have any limits for PATH_MAX. In case anyone is mystified how to reproduce the original problem on OpenSolaris: # This worked fine: ./python Lib/test/regrtest.py -uall test_posix # This showed the bug: ./python Lib/test/test_posix.py The bug could also be reproduced by creating a path name longer than 1024 chars, changing into that directory and attempting to start python. Antoine, could I ask you to comment on the patch?
