Hi Stephen,

sorry for the late reply, at that time we had some toolchain issues

I recently rerun the monotone test suite, and got 
automate_certs running but automate_update failing. Although, running 
those two tests a couple more of times each saw them passing, so most 
probably we've something intermittent on our (= Hurd) side.

I'm not debugging monotone again for now, but anyway having the PATH_MAX 
issue fixed (which luckly is not a big issue) would remove one of the 
problems preventing monotone to run on GNU/Hurd.
