But the puzzle doesn't end, I have:
file test.c:
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
   system("VeryLongName.exe"
          " 1234567890 1234567890 1234567890 1234567890 234567890"
/*          " 1234567890 1234567890 1234567890 1234567890 1234567890"
          " 1234567890 1234567890" */);
   return 0;
}
-----------
file VeryLongName.c:
-----------
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        printf("Hello from VeryLongName.exe!\n");
        printf("%s\n", argv[0]);
        return 0;
}
-----------
If I run test, I get:

Hello from VeryLongName.exe!
c:/djgpp/programs/djgpp/verylong.exe

Correct. But If delete '/*' and '*/' from test.c to
enable long command line, I get:

Hello from VeryLongName.exe!

And argv[0] is _not_ printed.
Is this expected behaviour ?
