Don't be rude and don't look open source gift horses in the mouth! (Look them in their registry entries.) Yes, Cygwin has such a limit. It is a parameterized limit and you can change that parameter. This has been discussed on this list repeatedly and the last time the topic came up, just a couple of weeks ago, someone was kind enough to quote an earlier posting which supplied the answer. I'm not in the mood, at the moment, to do the same.
