Doh.  Of FreeBSD (and MacOS X as well).  They have just 64K for args +
environment and some toolchaing GNU makefiles that pass around huge
argument lists (that end up in both args and env) overflow this easily
(even with Jason's make -X hack).

Sorry, I should have been more specific, but this has already been
discussed so I omitted too much of the context.
