I am not very familiar with OpenDX, but I know "Word too long" from developing shell scripts: this normally comes from shell scripts which try to evaluate a shell variable which exceeds some predefined string length. >From an example I encountered once (a C shell fragment:) if ( "$VIEWNAME" == "Temp" ) then ... VIEWNAME, in my case, contained the string "** NONE **". This led to glob expansion of the '*' characters, which resulted in a huge string. Thus, the "Word too long" error message from this script line. Hope this gives a hint; i.e. some shell variable may contain a unexpected string.
