mhm - that'd be ok with me. another solution that came to my mind: i'm maintaining a library, who's sole purpose is to fix the incorrect behaviour of libc in some regards on interix (libsuacomp [1]). it does some "bad" things already ( ;p ), so maybe i could override the sysconf() function (it already overrides approx 70 functions...), and make it return a sane value in the _SC_ARG_MAX case. that would make the whole problem disappear, and even the first (pushed) patch unnecessary. what do you think?
