ACK with above nit fixed so it still works.
I've pushed the two patches with that fixed; I decided to keep them separate for easier reversion of patch 2 if it turns out I was wrong and we ever hit an E2BIG error due to not having unlimited command line length.
Is 'getconf ARG_MAX' the command to use to determine the max. command line size?
Thanks for the reminder. Yes, 'getconf ARG_MAX' is the current system limit, although getconf(1) isn't present on some systems (cygwin and mingw come rapidly to my mind). On my Fedora 14 system, I see a 2M limit for ARG_MAX; empirically, mingw has a much smaller limit of 32k. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
