Subject: [PATCH 2/2] paranoid safety fix to clamp pathnames to PATH_MAX
Date: Sat,  3 Sep 2022 11:20:20 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220903112020.2317141-3-e@80x24.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220903112020.2317141-1-e@80x24.org>

While I doubt Ruby (nor Perl) would store pathnames longer than
PATH_MAX by default, it's possible `eval' users to specify
whatever path (and line number) they wish to use.

Likely was the case with `# line $FILE' directives in Perl5
which prompted this clamping.
