Yes, I'm considering the following:
gl_flags |= GLOB_MAXFILES
gl_match = filemax
Since gl_match is only used as an input parameter at the moment.
Another approach is to limit the number of bytes returned to ARG_MAX,
but I somewhat dislike that; it makes more sense to me to specify the
number of paths instead.
