That limit was obtained through experimentation, and might not be accurate (I couldn't actually find a hard limit in the cairo code, it's more likely due to an interaction of multiple parts of the code). This was all true with Cairo 1.4.10/pycairo 1.4.0. With other versions this may not be the case, but my "catch" happens regardless. We may want to revisit that if we discover that newer versions of Cairo can handle longer paths.
