Heh. This is a kernel limitation. When a new process is spawned the kernel places its environment and arguments together in memory, but there's a limit to their combined size. In this case, your environment has become large enough that there's apparently no space left for even the simplest of arguments. The limit has been transcended in recent versions of the linux kernel afaik, not sure how BSD fares in this area. -sqweek
