[PATCH] R ignores PATH_MAX and fails in long directories (PR#14228)

Indeed thanks to ripley@ for submitting it.  I don't see a note in the
NEWS file and it would be nice to point this out as fixed since others
may have run into this problem.  Could someone submit something like
this as well?

     o  read.fwf() works again when 'file' is a connection.

+    o   R now works correctly with filesystem paths longer than 255
+        characters on platforms that support it (PR#14228).

Thanks for the troubleshooting,

I just want to second this patch; it would be great if PATH_MAX could
be used everywhere.

The patch, or at least something quite similar, was applied in r51229.
