Well, that's a bit extreme. Make it 16kB or something. Anything should be
able to handle that.
Btw, on Linux, the argument length is realy only limited by the stack size
limits these days (you have to have a fairly recent kernel, though). It's
limited to stack limit / 4, to be exact, iirc. So if you see these kinds
of problems, and are running a recent kernel, do something like
ulimit -s 65536
to give yourself a big stack and you can continue without these kinds of
changes..
