I'm not sure why did I write that comment. LFN does affect this in a
minor way, since DOS 7 can pass command lines longer than 126
characters, but I'm not sure I meant this. Seems like a mistake on my
part.

Sorry, I didn't know that.
The reason for the change, btw, was your message where you said that
if ARG_MAX is not a constant, it should not be defined at all by
limits.h, so that programs like `find' would detect this and use
`sysconf' instead. I think that you said it was what POSIX specified.
