The proprietary OS' will have the problem, though. And far sooner

Besides, don't overestimate peoples readiness to be careful
about reference names. I would expect reference names over
100 bytes in length to happen regularly (generated from file names
appended with a timestamp, for example).

Cygwin's lifted that argument handling to be unlimited.

Actually, it didn't at all. Cygwin conveniently forgets that not all
programs use cygwin1.dll. Cygwin is just the wrong place
were the problems of windows stupidity have to be fixed,
and so it does not fix them.
