The MSDN docs for the lpCommandLine parameter to CreateProcess <http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dllproc/base/createprocess.asp> does indeed say the limit is 32K chars, but then there's this note that for Windows 2000 it's MAX_PATH which is 260, right? Why in the world would 2k have such a smaller limit and all the over versions have a 32K limit? Or is this a typo?
