Hi,

I get the following backtrace when trying to use the path limit feature
while getting a patch.

I'm not exactly sure what is going on, but I don't have the time to
debug so I cobbled together a quick test case for this which you can
view here: https://paste.xinu.at/vgCm/

The test "works" before commit 5fe88a9c81517b1a8a93d930c738cbb6f71dec2a
since that introduces the feature and using the path limit doesn't
actually change the output. It's just a quick reproducer.
