        The function java_lang_UNIXProcess_exec() in file
        src/solaris/java/green_threads/src/process_md imposes a
        limit of 198 arguments for a command that is being exec'd.

        This limit is arbitrary and needless. Within the JWS project
        we recently created a package with 219 .java files. When we
        try to compile this package we end up exceeding this limit
        resulting in IllegalArgumentException being thrown.
