We just had a file system problem (caused by a scrogged dump tape) where
we had to restore about 800 files.  Naturally, the argument list we
wanted to give to restor was about 45000 bytes.  So, we increased NCARGS
to 65k bytes and recompiled the system.  First thing we found out was that
csh "knew better" and had its own definition of NCARGS (it didn't even 
include param.h).  However, sh didn't mind.  We've been running that system
since with no adverse effects.
