MAX_PATH is actually 4096 on the Linux system I am testing on. Calling getcwd() in a path longer than that fails with ENAMETOOLONG. Still, 1026 shouldn't be the hard coded max length.

It seems I am mistaken on that. MAX_PATH is actually 4096 on the Linux system I am testing on. Calling getcwd() in a path longer than that fails with ENAMETOOLONG.

Still, 1026 shouldn't be the hard coded max length.
