After some digging, we found that in our environment there's no upper bound

RLIM64_INFINITY or 2^64-1
Then make sets the stack limit to the maximum value, again RLIM64_INFINITY.
glibc calculates ARG_MAX by dividing the current value of RLIMIT_STACK by
4, which gives us the 2^62-1 we're seeing.
So a suitable `ulimit -s' would do the trick?
