Hi Ralph

I think you'll find this is the problem. The length of the command line exceeded
the max allowed for your shell.

It's actually not the shell, it's the kernel. :-/

This is an issue with some RedHat variants, which have a really huge default @INC. When we pass this @INC along on the command line, it's too long for the kernel.

I'm hoping we can resolve this somehow, though it seems our first attempt (about a year ago I believe) didn't squash it.
