I think some of this has something to do with 32 bit asynchronous
non-blocking i/o, some parts of which at least I don't think MiNT
supports yet.  Leave it to Frank, ozk, evan etc to correct me ;)

As far as the maximum commandline length, that's typical.  On my fast
060 falcon it's not unbearable so I just leave it as is.
