Not intrinsically but most (all?) operating systems put some arbitrary upper limit on the environment size.

In case of doubt, consult the limitations section of `man execve`. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
