Have looked at Hurd source for get_current_dir_name and ERANGE in the header files,
and do not understand what you want.  The problem is that names MAXHOSTNAMELEN,
MAXPATHLEN (and NOFILES) are used like:

buf[MAXHOSTNAMELEN]

Please point me to an example of the code that you would like.  What source package
can I use as an example?
