I have tracked down a problem in job.c when the command is very large. The new_line is allocated on the stack which can fail on Win32 platforms via an exception. My solution was to switch the alloca (line 2800) to an xmalloc/free. I do not have a simple test case to reproduce the problem. I am also wondering where else this can fail since there is some limit on Win32. - Michael ------------------------------------------------------ Lotus Notes: Michael Fraenkel/Raleigh/IBM@IBMUS, Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] External: (919) 543-2264, Tie-line: 441-2264, Cell: (919) 244-4550
