You shouldn't actually set the path length anyway, it's deprecated in the PKIX
profile, and there are no known implementations which use it.  As a general
rule of thumb with fields in extensions, if you can't explain exactly why you
need it then it's probably a good idea not to use it (this eliminates about 50%
of all extension fields).
