It will not get changed in 1.2 at all, sorry.  That's a major architectural
change, for a branch which has been end-of-lifed and is only eligible for
security fixes, not new features.  You could manually up the various
buffers (there's more than one which affects this!) and recompile, if you
were so inclined.  1.4 uses a completely different method of sizing the
buffer, which allows for a seemingly limitless length of argments.  One
additional caveat, though:  the buffer used for variable substitution is
only 8k, so there's an additional limitation there, as well.
