I have installed findutils-4.2.10-3 but unfortunately the problem persists as in (for example) find /c/Cyg0/release/ | xargs md5sum xargs: md5sum: Argument list too long This happens on two machines, both XP Pro SP2. I attach cygcheck.out for one of them. If it helps at all, I tried wc in cases where this request succeeds/ fails, and the critical length of list is somewhere between 1341 (succeeds) and 1765 (fails). I'm afraid this was as close as I could easily get with what was available for testing on both machines. Thank you. Fergus
