Very long path causes error when spawning CGI process

[GoogleCodeExporter]

See the attached image and view path I installed this test. Actually where I 
downloaded to.

Only changes I made to settings.json were: 1) turned debugging 2) Changed name 
3) tested using icon

Moving the same exact folder to C:\PHPDesktop solves the error and works as 
expected.

Using phpdesktop-chrome-31.3-php-5.5.8-minified on Win Vista SP2


This is really not an issue for me because I will never make software with such 
a directory. Just though you may like to see.

I have reproduced the problem using the same path as you. I have removed the 
spaces and still had the same error. There are two important logs in the 
console:

  - 23:09:32.249 WARNING: vsnprintf error
  - 23:09:32.249 WARNING: spawn_process: CreateProcess(): 87

vsnprintf() warning means that it probably exceeded the available buffer or 
something.

This is definitely a bug in the Mongoose webserver.

More debug logs from mongoose:

  *** 1390582331.00001548.spawn_process.1357: Running []
  *** 1390582331.00001548.send_http_error.970: [Error 500: Internal Server Error
Cannot spawn CGI process [C:\phpdesktop\Projects-Software 
Builders\PHPDesktop\phpdesktop-chrome-31.3-php-5.5.8-minified\phpdesktop-chrome-
31.3-php-5.5.8-minified\phpdesktop-chrome\www/index.php]: No such device or 
address] 

Seems like the problem is in the spawn_process() function on line 1357.
