uh, I just used git for our own tool, never used it actively, I’ll know it now.

Re-reading the code I just don’t understand anymore why it is needed, it just works... whereas the old value of 80 would truncate long links. In my tests I got a truncated link name at 76 chars with the trailing \0 missing putting my FTP parsing stuff out of order, but I believe now that the existing code should have work.....

Duh, I found the bug: near the code :

new_readdir_line = realloc(sshc->readdir_line,
                                 sshc->readdir_totalLen + 4 +
                                 sshc->readdir_len);

at line 1890, the total length “sshc->readdir_totalLen” is not updated... hence it worked with the PATH_MAX value...
better than that simply add the line:
sshc->readdir_totalLen += 4 + sshc->readdir_len;
