(Get the code!)
About Windows compatibility: Is it the GUI/console mode issue, or is it something specific wrt the patch?
About the command line buffer: A quick fix would be to use ARG_MAX for Linux/OS X. Windows has 8191 as a limit in cmd.exe and 32767 for CreateProcess. Not sure what the macros are called.
However, hogging 128 kB seems a bit wasteful. The alternative is to allocate new buffers dynamically. Is that something that would increase the chances of getting the patch approved, or are there other blocking issues?
