Michael, Per our previous discussion, here are the updates to the execve(2) manpage resulting from the variable length argument support patch in linux-2.6.23-rc1. The execve API is unmodified. However, the following should be noted in the "Notes" section.
Prior to linux-2.6.23, the memory used to store the environment and argument list strings was limited to 32 (MAX_ARG_PAGES) pages. On most architectures, the page size is 4kB, leading to a maximum size of 128kB. In linux-2.6.23 and later, most architectures support a size limit derived from the current RLIMIT_STACK - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
