Not to delay this but ... why replace the always safe strncpy with an 
unsafe strcpy protected by an assert ??? I though we were moving to 
always safe code to get past code-checkers etc.

And out of curiousity where does this new UNIX_MAX_PATH come from (and 
if it is UNIX then why isn't used on Solaris rather than Linux ;-) )
