Recently I had a user who needed to remove 17k files all at once and received the message 'rm: Argument list too long'. In his case an rm -rf on the directory itself solved his problem, but after a quick web search, it seems that the value of MAX_ARG_PAGES in include/linux/binfmts.h (32) is responsible for this limitation. Could this value possibly be increased safely? I'm curious, is there some other limitation that has been breached in the 2.5 series that would make it safer to increase MAX_ARG_PAGES?
