Hi Corinna,

Transforming "CWDs > MAX_PATH" to "longest path prefix <= MAX_PATH"
seems unpredictable.  If you mean discarding subdirectory terms from
right to left until the overall CWD becomes <= MAX_PATH, an app could
easily launch in the wrong CWD...

Regards,
Jose A. Fernandez

    - We could support long CWDs and change the CWD to the longest path
      prefix <= MAX_PATH as soon as we call a native app.
