On the Mac it's 1024, cf. the macro PATH_MAX #define'ed in
<sys/syslimits.h>.
This is a POSIX limit, I'm pretty sure. To conform to POSIX, the
value must be set by #include'ing /usr/include/limits.h, I believe.
Possibly at the upper end, PATH_MAX == 4096 in Linux 2.4. IIRC, POSIX
allows it to be as small as 255 (many systems will #define
_POSIX_PATH_MAX 255 for this reason; the Mac is one).
