I need to set a very long environment variable CLASSPATH within Cygwin bash.
But there seems to be an upper limit of 32K for environment variables!?!?

Is there any way to increase this upper limit?

I have attached 2 small files for demonstrating the problem.
Start run.sh and the invocation of the executable (java) failes...

Thanks for any help
Andre
