On Windows, there are dramatic problems when a command line grows beyond PATH_MAX, which is restricted to 8191 characters on XP and later (according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830473). Work around this by just cutting off the command line at that length (actually, at a space boundary) in the hope that only negative refs are chucked: gitk will then do unnecessary work, but that is still better than flashing the gitk window and exiting with exit status 5 (which no Windows user is able to make sense of). The first fix caused Tcl to fail to compile the regexp, see msysGit issue 427. Here is another fix without using regexp, and using a more relaxed command line length limit to fix the original issue 387.
