  pathconf(_PC_NAME_MAX) was implemented on top of statfs().  The 32bit
version therefore fails EOVERFLOW if the filesystem blockcount is
sufficiently large.

Most pathconf() queries use statvfs64(), which avoids this issue.  This
patch modifies pathconf(_PC_NAME_MAX) to do likewise.

                                         Peter

P.S. I haven't completed FSF copyright assignment.

Looks ok for me. 

Copyright assignment is not needed yet. As this is under 15 lines 
its not legally significant.
