The truncation >issue in the CRT is best demonstrated by the following Code couplets A Cygwin program which calls another Cygwin program does not have this problem so it isn't completely immaterial. >Also Note, if you would like to review the code that is responsible >for the truncation, I would suggest you to refer the function Not sure who you are talking to but, on the off chance that you are hoping to engage a Cygwin developer, we do know where the glob code lives. As I indicated, it originally comes from FreeBSD.
