Attention kernel hackers:

It is high time we did away with the
`Arguments too long' nonsense.  Instead
of preallocating 5K of swap space for
the args and environment variables,
exece should allocate one block at a
time, and use the last word of each
block to chain to the next.  I haven't
done this yet, but I'm sure it will work
and be a win.
