Description William Bader 2006-10-13 04:11:41 UTC 
SCO Unix has a limited space for the combined lengths of the environment and
command line.  These patches reduce some of the longer command lines.

Comment 2 Hin-Tak Leung 2006-10-18 16:58:07 UTC 
The patch is not entirely about long command line length.
(and the first few hunks have side-effects on non-SCO platforms).
Comment 3 Hin-Tak Leung 2010-08-02 00:17:38 UTC 
Confirm and re-assign bugs with attached/in-line patches for another person to review.
Comment 4 Chris Liddell (chrisl) 2014-03-13 02:30:56 UTC 
I'm not sure how widely used SCO Unix variants are now, and the patch attached interferes with builds on other platforms/toolkits. So I am closing this bug.
Comment 5 William Bader 2014-03-13 11:06:14 UTC 
That is OK.  We haven't done a SCO Unix build since 2008.
Regards, William

Thanks William. I did feel a little guilty as you'd done a patch, so I'm glad it's no longer an issue for you.

If SCO raises it's head again for you, let me know, and we'll discuss a way forward.
