The kernel has a maximum command-line length, but it that only gets
checked when an external executable is run. Something like
echo `cat /dev/urandom`
would still work, since echo is usually a shell builtin command.
The better way to stop malicious people from using up all your memory
is to specify a datasize limit in /etc/login.conf .
