I just found this document: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/ntcmds_shelloverview.mspx?pf=true At the very bottom of it, you may find the note: > The maximum total environment variable size for all variables, which > includes variable names and the equal sign, is 65,536KB. Which seems to be in disagreement with http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682653(v=vs.85).aspx (And consequently, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682425(v=vs.85).aspx ) I don't know, how it is applicable to Cygwin, but I find it interesting. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdaemon AT yandex DOT ru) 14.02.2014, <11:31> Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
