Hey Roland,
Good to see you working on Pd too :) About your patch, I think increasing
MAXPDSTRING is dangerous because Pd uses MAXPDSTRING as the max path length as
well. I think Debian's maximum path length is quite a bit shorter than 10000
bytes. Its not a good situation, I know, but that's how it is.
what are the problems you expect?
if the user constructs a filename that is longer than MAX_PATH (which
won't refer to any file on the filesystem anyhow), will that lead to
some buffer overflow problem?
or will (f)open simply fail to open the given file?
