Hi David,
proc_pidpath handler in the xnu kernel is indirectly calling
build_path_with_parent [1] and it includes NULL terminator into
buffersize, i.e. the patch seems to limit path length to one less
character than OS allows.

The change looks okay but it's not clear why it is needed [2].
Also, libproc.h [3] has this comment:
/*
* This header file contains private interfaces to obtain process information.
* These interfaces are subject to change in future releases.
*/
But iTerm2 [4] an Chromium [5] are using it. An alternative (if it works
and IMO less appealing) would be to retrieve process path using AppKit [6].
