Hi all,

I've encountered a possible bug in cygstart.
It seems to abort when a URI is passed to it.


$ cygcheck -dc | grep cygutils
cygutils                                1.4.17-3
$ cygstart https://www.google.com
*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated
Aborted

$ cygcheck -dc | grep cygutils
cygutils                                1.4.17-2
$ cygstart https://www.google.com
*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated
Aborted

$ cygcheck -dc | grep cygutils
cygutils                                1.4.17-1
$ cygstart https://www.google.com
