No, I didn't explain it well. NETPATHLEN isn't named in the manual pages, so ndb/dns doesn't use it. On the other hand, dial does, but because it's ...LEN, it's an easy mistake to think of it as the length of a string, which wouldn't include the terminating zero byte, instead of the length of the underlying array.
