Or even better, display the limit that is being exceeded, in case that
value changes over time.  Something like.

-       strncpy(prog, argv[0], strlen(argv[0]));
+       if (strlen(argv[0]) >= LEN_MAX){
+                fprintf(stderr, "Executable name exceeds limit (%d): %s\n",
+                        LEN_MAX,
+                        argv[0]);
