RE: [PHP-DEV] Adding path_len to all stream functions in trunk

Hi Rasmus, Hope I understood the problem correctly. If not, this answer won't make sense :) I do not see a major problem in passing path_len but wonder how much it'd actually solve as we end up calling OS APIs that do not accept path_len, no? I assume we don't want to start searching all these strings for invalid chars before we pass them to the OS.
