I saw ARG_MAX was increased in 6.0. Recently I noticed that
the lang/fpc-devel port currently hits the old limit in
certain (though rare) cases), and this is annoying.
(some testing revealed that half the increase of 6.0
to 131k params is also ok)
Any chance ARG_MAX will be upped in -STABLE too?
For this specific example, it would be better to fix the port.
The port has to work on many releases in addition to 5.x-stable
and 6.x-current. We can't change ARG_MAX in all of those
releases to fix the port. We certainly can't change it in
5.3-RELEASE (because that's sitting on CD's), and we probably
aren't going to change it in 5.3-ERRATA (the "minimal change
security branch", which many people run on production servers),
and it's even less likely that we'll change it in 4.x-stable.
