I'll try if it's within perl. Before I see no problem with perl's fork, but maybe it's elsewhere. What is your openoffice ticket url for this problem? With http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=allsvn&msgNo=9427 I see a possible problem in: my $command = "rebase " . $options_string; where $options_string can get too large and the error message should be improved. I don't think perl has a test for argument length limits yet. I'll investigate. If within the cygwin1.dll you have to be more specific were exactly. A part of the strace of the failing rebase.pl call would help. > On the other hand, I tried creating a junction point with linkd.exe so that I > could use short names for the openoffice source tree.

This is a behaviour within the cygwin dll. -- Reini Urban http://phpwiki.org/ http://murbreak.at/ -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
