[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I also installed the attached two followup patches to document this and 
issue a better warning in rare cases.

The -S code could use some more fixes in this area too - it can probably 
still dump core on platforms like the Hurd that don't limit exec arg 
size - but one thing at a time.
