How can I tell what the maximum size of a processes environment is? I've had a cursory grep through /usr/include and haven't been able to spot anything. Reason I ask is that I appear to have such a large collection of environment variables inside my zsh, that the new ones aren't appearing. And the large ones that get modified (like PATH) appear to be disappearing. If I comment out a few of my lesser used ones, then all is well, I get a PATH variable back in my subshells. -- Dom Mitchell -- Palmer & Harvey McLane -- Unix Systems Administrator ``Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly.'' -- Henry Spencer -- ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
