I was just frightened by the following comment in 2.1.47:

+/*
+ * This is broken in more ways than one. Unchecked recursion,
+ * unchecked buffer size. Get rid of it.
+ */
int d_path(struct dentry * entry, struct dentry * chroot, char * buf)

My reimplementation of smbfs depends HEAVILY on this feature. d_path
could be implemented better, but I NEED the complete path.
