This is really hacky.  If this is fixed, it needs to be fixed properly.

I thought this is enough - we never put more that three paths in the 
buffer and tester probably won't have paths longer than MAX_PATH as they 
are not supported by the shell.
  What do you mean by a proper fix - some overflow checking in 
set_curr_dir_path and skipping the rest of tests in such a case?
