Well it is related to the shell yes. Limitation of the length of the prompt the shell can handle. (I think ;-)) More and more files coming into the subdir, or the contents are static? Or hmm, could be a compilation switch to the compilation of bash, but wouldn't think so.. /Andy -- The eye of the beholder rests on the beauty! -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
