I have noted that testing several snapshots (20050906, 20050908, 20050909,
20050914) some simple application written in C++ does not work any
more. For example:

$ ./my_app.exe
bash: ./my_app.exe: Argument list too long

and my_app does not use any argument!

I remember that there was a snapshot (< 20050906) in which the arguments
length was truncated to 32K. Could be this the cause?

I have noted similar error with application downloaded from internet and
built for Cygwin. For ex. with:
http://quatramaran.ens.fr/~coudert/gfortran/
gfortran-Cygwin-4.1-20050912-Athlon.tar.bz2: after installed it works with
Cygwin 1.5.18-1 but not with the above snapshots:

$ gfc TempConv.F90
gfc: error trying to exec
'/usr/local/gfortran/bin/../libexec/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin
/4.1.0/cc1.exe': execv: Argument list too long).


Angelo.
