This was probably too small.

This should probably not be used.  Why not use getcwd(NULL, 0) like
pwd(1) to avoid unnecessary failures in deep directories?
_POSIX_PATH_MAX is even smaller than MAXPWD (255) and should only
be used by POSIX programs that don't want to deal with dynamic
allocation to handle systems where PATH_MAX is not defined.
