Any _arbitrary_ fixed length is wrong. But if the filesystem supports
at most FILENAME_MAX-long file names, then using FILENAME_MAX for
strings that hold file names is not arbitrary. Likewise, if we know
what is the maximum length of a Windows user name, we could use that
value as the size of the pw_name member.
But using strdup would also be okay, IMHO, and would avoid the need
for looking up the OS limits for each member.
