Linux 2.0.3x defines that the total memory used up by args & environment is 32 pages long. So, if you arglist+env size is > 32 pages (128k on intel.... twice that alpha), you're screwed :-).
Most UNIXen have a similar limit on arg & env size.
Answer: linux imposed limit. Limited arg lists are not unique to linux tho.
