So a situation at $WORK today has me wondering something - why is it that the pr_psargs member of psinfo is limited to 80 bytes (therefore, characters) ? Is this mainly due to historic reasons?

I realize that expanding the size of that member will certainly break binary compatibility, but I can't think of any security implications for properly storing and revealing more of a process's arguments, perhaps in a new structure or other appropriate facility where it can be programatically retrieved with out requiring elevated privs and the shenanigans that pargs(1) goes through to get the full arg list of a pid.
