[GRLUG] globbing

[Steve Romanow]

I think this is pretty typical on all the unix's I am aware of.  The shell
is just a program, and the developer had to choose a size for how long a
command to accept and parse.

When globbing, it is easy to pass this limit.  The xargs solution the
support person mentioned is the default answer IMO.
