From: Maurice Lombardi Newsgroups: comp.os.msdos.djgpp Subject: bug in djgpp port of bash 2.04 ?

This is coped with in bare djgpp (same command under command.com which does not expands the argument), and is correct also with the previous bash 2.03 (parameters transmitted with a response file with no length limit I presume). What has been changed ?
