a couple issues with large numbers of files

[Chris Donahue <de...@kana.com>]

I am running ant using jikes against a large file tree, and I get an
exception (details below) that looks like there is a problem forking off the
jikes process in Windows NT when command-line program to be executed is a
large number of characters.  

Has anyone tried running jikes against a large (> 500 files) file tree on
Windows NT?  I tried using javac, but it was slow and gobbled up 70MB of
memory.

Thanks for the help,

Chris Donahue

yep. The problem has been fixed in CVS. SO you should grab a copy of that
and all should be right :P
