    Thanks for the update

    The following MS documentation must be wrong: it lists the max sizes as:
    The maximum individual environment variable size is 8192bytes.

    The maximum total environment variable size for all variables, which includes variable names and the equal sign, is 65,536KB

    I thought I was far away from that. Now it's clear that it's a typo.
