I think we should avoid asserts other than for debugging. We could opt to return a valid null string:

	if (!path || !*path)
		return "";

I think I'd use at least 256 here.

The above does not guarantee a null termination. Replace the two lines with strnzcpy(retmem, base, sizeof(retmem)), conveniently also located in misc.c.

The rest looks fine to me, but I'm not exactly a skilled code reviewer :)
