Luis,

Tried it on Win2k3 SP1:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>%COMSPEC% /K
"dir\\?\AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
A AAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
A AAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
System replied:

YEah! Buffer Overflow Windows XP SP2

I Hill debug this.

What makes you think there is a buffer overflow? I'd say the 'dir'
command 
reports an error for parameters beyond 256 chars. Just plain error
handling, 
not a security issue, or am I missing something?
