I wasn't paying close attention to this thread but just in case there was some misinformation here: you have to mount the directory with -X in order to reap the benefit of cygwin's argument handling. Otherwise, you are limited to <32K command line sizes. And, as I said, I could't duplicate Eric's problem with the current snapshot. 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/
