Mike,

In the meantime, I ran some simple tests by running a Mingw program from
Cygwin bash shell and passed it a command line where the total length
was >= 330 characters. It worked as well when I invoked the same from
a makefile via Cygwin make.

Are you sure it's not a function of how djgpp make is invoking "foreign"
programs?

Regards,
Mumit
