_POSIX_PATH_MAX will always be defined in limits.h and will always have a
value of 255. (ss2.9.2)  However, some systems have virtually unlimited 
pathname limits.  In these cases PATH_MAX will not be defined and the 
application should be smart enough to do the right thing. (ss2.9.4)

Checking pathconf for the PATH_MAX value may also yield an undefined
result.  In this case, the application should assume that pathname lengths
are unlimited, and again, do the right thing.  (ss5.7.1.3)
