It does seem as if, because Bash feels the need to escape all the embedded equals, ampersand, and at signs: >$ rm >[EMAIL PROTECTED]&slid\=40\&product\=Hotel\&type\=PropertyInf >ormat >ion\&lang\=ENG\&af >filiateId\=10006093\&hotelId\=10214537\&include\=OVERVIEW\&did\=14\&num >berAd >ults\=1\&numberRooms\=1 >\&dateSelected\=false\&needDates\=Y\&debugXML\=false >rm: cannot remove >[EMAIL PROTECTED]&slid=40&product=Hotel&type=PropertyInformatio >n&lan >g=ENG& >affiliateId=10006093&hotelId=10214537&include=OVERVIEW&did=14&numberAdu >lts=1 >&numberRooms=1&dateSelec >ted=false&needDates=Y&debugXML=false': File or path name too long that what might otherwise be a legit pathname is becoming too long. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
