I thought that xargs knew how big the command line args should be, even on windows. You're saying that without specifying -s, xargs on windows still fails with too long command line args?

MSYS' xargs seems to work without problem. So, this xargs problem is cygwin specific. Interestingly, I have not been able to manually reproduce the bug by repeatly running "cat file | xargs echo" while "file" has been growing bytewise till xargs splitted the echo invocation. -- Fruhwirth Clemens - http://clemens.endorphin.org
