How to delete an 8094-byte PATH?

Infact I was complaining about this to some colleagues who kindly pointed me to this thread [1] where someone has exactly the same issue. Searching for `confdir3`, it turns out this issue is more googleable than I initially realized - there's quite a few others who have bumped into these weird path length limitations, in particular with docker (there's another thing I forgot to mention - to be clear, I'm running QEMU inside a docker container.) Still it seems strange, since the QEMU VM disk image is a static file within the docker file system, and there are no bind mounts going on in the container.
