   It's not easily changed without causing other problems. 64K already results
in potentially 1MB of memory being temporarily consumed. I need to make some
changes to kern_exec.c to add support for a resource wait when "string" space
isn't allocateable. Right now it returns ENOMEM if more than 16 processes
simultaneously exec. This is an extremely rare condition, but possible.
