- I have had the same problem and fixed it by incresing the environment
- space as mentioned. Another problem I have had is that there appears
- to be a size limit for each variable. For example, I have had a problem
- with the PATH variable cutting off beyond a certain length. I think it is
- around 128 characters or so. Does anyone know if this max length can be
- modified? Thank you in advance!
