[TriLUG] Limit to command line arguments?

[Warren Myers]

350 arguments? ouch. What kind of program are you running? Maybe there's an
alternative to the arguments?

I'm not sure what the limit is under bash, but I know that under some older
editions of Windows, you're limited to about 100 bytes. Not sure if it's
different now.
