AFAIK this limitation has been lifted in Linux 2.6.23. That FAQ could
be updated for this. On my 2.6.24, the non-limit isn't shown:
$ getconf ARG_MAX
131072
but apparently it doesn't exist any more:
$ cd /usr/lib; /bin/echo * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * | wc
1 60950 1056000
Cheers,
Ralf
