We may also get away with storing it in the Windows heap, but I didn't test this . > Along these lines, there's no reason to couple SC_ARG_MAX to the > size of the stack.

Oh, and we can carefully check in child_info_spawn::worker that the args are not taking more space than the value returned by SC_ARG_MAX and return E2BIG if so. We do this when checking the args for non-Cygwin apps anyway. Thanks, Corinna
