Don't be rude and don't look open source gift horses in the mouth! (Look 
them in their registry entries.)

Yes, Cygwin has such a limit. It is a parameterized limit and you can 
change that parameter.

This has been discussed on this list repeatedly and the last time the topic 
came up, just a couple of weeks ago, someone was kind enough to quote an 
earlier posting which supplied the answer.

I'm not in the mood, at the moment, to do the same.
