The patch works for me.

Could the 100MB be loading the CentOS 7 locale data?
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 106176928 Jul 18 2022 /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive
Maybe calling the library functions that fold needs to avoid breaking multibyte
characters have a side-effect of loading the locale data.
My CentOS 7 server has glibc-2.17-326.el7_9.x86_64
Maybe, though the error was from sh before fold was even executed.
Also there was a call previously to determine the limit with `fold /dev/null`.
Maybe the local-archive is being loaded in parallel and it's a racy thing
(we did see it only fail with the full test run).
Wnyay good data points if we every hit issues with this in future.
