Well, feel free to submit a patch, but it does not seem like any of the
other developers care about such long paths, me included. Its just
highly unusual to have a path longer than 255 characters. At least on my
system the longest path is 170 characters. If this were a virus scanner
I would care, but for a multimedia player it's IMHO ok to have simple limits.

find / -type d | awk '{ if (length(bash) > maxlen) { maxlen = length(bash); print maxlen, bash }}'
