I actually looked at this. This limit is imposed by the Linux kernel
itself; it's built into the /proc/cmdline structure as I remember.
The method I used to get around it was to shift from command line
parameters to a configuration file instead. This file is then referred
to by a command line parameter. Thus, all the details are in the
configuration file, not on the command line - and since the form was up
to me, I was able to enhance things drastically at the same time.
The other thing I did was to check the /proc/cmdline structure to see
how long it was; if it was 255 characters, emit a warning that the line
may have been clipped.
