I think we should be using a macro to define the maximum length, rather

It's not just 100 in some places. It's different in different places,
which goes to your point.

How about using a system that doesn't meaningfully impose a maximum
length? The shell variable is a const char *, so why not just
re(p)alloc as needed?

Uh, how do you know how big to make the buffer that receives the read?

You can start at any size, possibly even 100, and then increase the
size in a loop along the lines of (untested)

That's possible, but I like having the (reasonable) upper limit on that
rather than arbitrary size.
