You will have to increase the environment space for shell variables
which is too small in your case (256 byte by default IIRC). You can do
this by either adding 'SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:1024 /P' to your
config.sys or changing the shell environment parameter somewhere in
the properties dialog of your shortcut to cygnus.bat.
