Using your code couplets (and modifying them a bit), I did some experimentation, and observed: - the first parameter to callee, if quoted, is truncated to 8186 bytes in case the length of the argument without quotes, exceeds the aforementioned length. - no truncation occurs in case the parameter is not quoted. As far as I can tell, it is not bash, but the Cygwin supervisor, that does the truncation.
