 - The abort() in bufcat(), html.c, can be triggered via buffmt_includes()

   - POSIX says in the documentation of sysconf(3) that PATH_MAX
     is allowed to be so large that it is a bad idea to use it
     for sizing static buffers.  So use dynamic buffers throughout.
     See the file test-PATH_MAX.c for details.
