When I was runnig some programs like vi or mpg123 with parameter with many
"%s/*" i have strange results fe.
argv@jaskinia:~$ mpg123 `perl -e 'print "/*%s"x9000'`
[now i'm seeing prompt to login]

As you can see after this command shell (bash) is exiting.
It's don't work under tcsh and csh:

tcsh:
mpg123 `perl -e 'print "/*%s"x9000'`
Word too long.


csh:
%mpg123 `perl -e 'print "/*%s"x9000'`
Word too long.
%

I don't tried it under other shells.
