Had that before, but it's repetitive and more importantly this loop matches the first one.

The two is hard-coded in other places explicitly as well and implied in fixup_paths(). The root cause is not any array size but the design decision to require exactly two things to compare. A reader would need to know that. We could sure use ARRAY_SIZE(paths) in the declaration of to_free and ARRAY_SIZE(to_free) in the loop to at least not add more instances of that magic number and make the code understandable without seeing the bigger picture.
