hi,

I confirm that, there is something fishy here.

this one is from XP

REJAP at rzuem5008 ~
$ mkshortcut -n "Ifor cygwin bin" /c/cygwin/bin

REJAP at rzuem5008 ~
$ mkshortcut -n "I for cygwin bin" /c/cygwin/bin
Aborted (core dumped)


and this one out of Win7 32


rejap at win7dev ~
$ mkshortcut -n "I for cygwin bin" /c/cygwin/bin
Aborted (core dumped)

rejap at win7dev ~
$ mkshortcut -n "Ifor cygwin bin" /c/cygwin/bin


What is interesting, both links lnk file exist and are identical.



Cheers, Pawel


Pawel, your cases are the same. I had same result on W7 64 It seems depending on shortcut length, when multiple of 16:

marco@MARCOATZERI ~
$ mkshortcut -n '1234567890123456' '/e/cygwin/e'
Aborted (core dumped)

marco@MARCOATZERI ~
$ mkshortcut -n '12345678901234567890123456789012' '/e/cygwin/e'
Aborted (core dumped)

a longer or shorter name works.

marco@MARCOATZERI ~
$ mkshortcut -n '123456789012345678901234567890123' '/e/cygwin/e'

Regards
Marco
