Hi Abhijit,

Using your code couplets (and modifying them a bit), I did some experimentation, and observed:

 - the first parameter to callee, if quoted, is truncated to 8186 bytes in case the length of
   the argument without quotes, exceeds the aforementioned length.
 - no truncation occurs in case the parameter is not quoted.

As far as I can tell, it is not bash, but the Cygwin supervisor, that does the truncation.

Henri
