I see, thank you.

$ getconf ARG_MAX

$ set | wc

surprisingly sourcing the shell script worked, i wrote the script via
"make -n | head 10" and vim, of course. ;)

I have to try that.

I could neither find that file nor define.

I am very new to that. It would be nice to hear how it works.
I am compiling john for AIX 5.3/6.1/7.1, HP-UX 11.11/11.31, linux
32bit 64bit, Solaris 5.10/5.11 (64 Bit) , Solaris Sparc 5.8 (32 Bit) /
5.9 (64 Bit) / 5.11 (64 Bit). There are a bunch of issues in the code,
how do you suggest to keep the issues independant? (accept one, reject
others ...)
If one issue is badly solved, it should be independant from the other
ones (to reject it) - so doing a single pull request seems a little
bit clumsy to do that.
But I am new to github so any help or comments are welcome. ;)

Yes, that's my question. I did three commits for three different
things and did one pull request - would it have been better to do
three pull requests?

Mine was a solution that solved a problem (for me). My idea was to
share it with you to have the problem saved for future releases.
Feel free to use or change it.
