I'm not suggesting we depart from upstream. This is an upstream misdesign which they need to correct. If function/chunk arguments are a constrained resource (like CPU registers, stack size, etc.) then the lua interpreter has no business mapping command line arguments to them. What if some OS had virtually unlimited command line length? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
