That makes some sense… sshfs is probably trying to avoid a round-trip to the
server and is just reporting MAX_LONG.
I'm not a core fish contributor, but I expect that given this scenario, the
code should be checking for ln <0 || ln > MAX_FILE_LENGTH:
if (ln < 0 || ln > MAX_FILE_LENGTH)
ln = MAX_FILE_LENGTH;
