Out of curiousity do you have your /bin directory mounted with -X? If so, this should remove most of the command line length limitations -- except in 1.5.18 which was unable to allocate more than a pitiful amount of memory for cygwin's heap. The allocation problem was fixed earlier this week and doesn't have anything to do with the recent E2BIG fixes that I just made. cgf -- 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/
