PATH_MAX need not be defined (think GNU Hurd, for example), or may be
insanely large where you are wasting time overallocating then shrinking
in the common case. A more robust implementation starts with a smaller
size, then repeatedly grows the buffer as long as getcwd() fails with
ERANGE. Or, you could use realpath(".", NULL), to get an equivalent (but
not necessarily identical) name, with the malloc() taken care of on your
behalf.
But I don't think we need to worry about that for BSD, and that your
implementation works fine for now.
