My understanding is that W32 has a combined 32k limit on arguments + environment, whether you get the inherited environment from spawnvp or the new environment in spawnvpe. The maximum command line length thus depends on how loaded environ is, but sticking to a length of 8k is usually safe. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
