Workaround the brokenness of realpath() a bit more.

Browse source 
At least on android it blindly writes to the end of the buffer passed to it assuming it's sufficiently. It wasn't in our case, resulting in a buffer overflow (and breakage).
This should fix strange problems relating to database initialization on application targets.
