Using cygwin 1.3.10 and 1.5.7, if an '&' ampersand character appears at character 2048 of a makefile command, the ampersand is lost from the command. If white-space is manipulated to move the & one character forward or backward in the makefile command, everything works fine. I have attached a testcase makefile below that reproduces the problem with simple makefile echo commands. Run "make fail" to see the failing case when an ampersand is at character 2048. Run "make ok1" and "make ok2" to see the same command succeed if the ampersand is shifted one character left or right respectively. Run "make ok3" to see the same command succeed if character 2048 appears in the middle of the echo command. (See attached file: makefile) Thanks. Jeremy Broughton e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
