+
+    Hi,
+
+    This patch solves the build problems for GNU/Hurd due to PATH_MAX
+    issues. The solution is to make dynamic string allocations instead of
+    using fixed length buffers. The patch involves one file, and is
+    trivial.
+
+    FIXME:
+    Is it really useful to check if BUFSIZ is defined?
+
+    TODO:
+    Should the "whole package" be tested with valgrind on GNU/Linux?!
+    If yes, is there a standard procedure to do it?!
+
+    Thanks! 
+    Special thanks to Jérémie and Richard for their comments!
+
+    (Not submitted yet, comments are welcome.)
+
+Once it's been approved, you can proceed to the submission.
