.The `which` command no longer fails for a long path
Previously, when you executed the `which` command in a directory with a path longer than 256 characters, the command failed with the `Can't get current working directory` error message. With this fix, the `which` command now uses the `PATH_MAX` value for the path length limit. As a result, the command no longer fails.
