What is "env"? And can you wrap your lines at 72 columns please?

That's an odd number, why that? Why not just a page? What happens if some other path wants more?
And what's causing the input stack to have so many variables all of a sudden, what changed to cause this? Is this a bugfix for a specific commit that needs to be backported to older kernels? Why did this buffer size all of a sudden be too small?
