I haven't actually tried to crash mc with a long command, but the
comment clearly indicates mc "goes comma" (sic) with large command
lines, so I don't doubt that comment.
Since I haven't tested this the size cap of 4k is a bit arbitrary, but
it seems a reasonable size and is well below the indicated estimated 8k
size limit.
Of course this is open for discussion and investigation.
Leonard.
