Question: What are the odds that a posted strace snippet would not
contain anything useful for debugging a problem?
Answer: Nearly 100%
Thought it might give a clue as to which process was not able to fork.
And that someone might be able to tell me how to attach a debugger to
that process given that information. It was admittedly a bit of a
stretch.
The answer to your question, which will probably be taken as flip, is:
you can debug the problem by diving into the cygwin source code. If it
isn't just a simple rebase problem then the solution would lie there.
Since it works with a smaller length PATH I would also think that rebase
would help. I have recently run rebase with no errors for what that is
worth.
From your comment, I would take it that you think that the issue is in
the cygwin dll itself and not bash or git.
So, I guess you would suggest building a debug cygwin dll, and then
using gdb on git to try and find out where fork fails?
Thanks.
