I'll try if it's within perl. Before I see no problem with perl's
fork, but maybe it's elsewhere.

What is your openoffice ticket url for this problem?
With http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=3Dallsvn&msgNo=3D9=
427

I see a possible problem in:
  my $command =3D "rebase " . $options_string;
where $options_string can get too large and the error message
should be improved.
I don't think perl has a test for argument length limits yet. I'll investig=
ate.

If within the cygwin1.dll you have to be more specific were exactly.
A part of the strace of the failing rebase.pl call would help.

> On the other hand, I tried creating a junction point with linkd.exe so th=
at I could use short names for the openoffice source tree. But this didn't =
work becase the configure script translated junction points, because cygpat=
h translates them. Why? This is surprising. For example if c:\ooo is a junc=
tion to c:\Documents and settings\myuser\openoffice, why should cygpath -w =
/cygdrive/c/ooo return c:\Documents...\openoffice rather than c:\ooo? At le=
ast that translation should be optional.

This is a behaviour within the cygwin dll.
