Hmm. I have no more specific ideas. I did dig out the following:
PHKL_10176:
The internal buffer within the kernel was created with a
length of 20480 bytes, with no provision for increasing its
size. This patch provides for up to 100 such buffers, with
all but the first allocated only if required (that is, if
more than 20480 bytes of argv/env information is found).
Thus, exec() now supports up to 2048000 bytes of argv/env
information.
However: this patch has long been superseeded by PHKL_16750 (and other
later versions of this patch)...
Best regards,
Lutz
