[ruby-talk:01790] [ruby-1.5.3] path_check_1

 I don't understand these lines in file.c

static int
path_check_1(path)
    char *path;
{
    struct stat st;
    char *p = 0;
    char *s;

    if (!is_absolute_path(path)) {
        char buf[MAXPATHLEN+1];

#ifdef HAVE_GETCWD
        if (getcwd(path, sizeof(path)) == 0) return 0;
#else
        if (getwd(path) == 0) return 0;
#endif
 

 If I'm right sizeof(path) == sizeof(char *) this mean that path_check_1
 always return 0 if the path is not absolute and length of absolute 
 path > 4 

 (1960, 1962).gsub!(/path/, 'buf'), no ?
