We are getting the error " too many values in environment" after
submitting an "env var1=xxx var2=xxx
var3=xxx ..." to the "system" call in C.  Is there anyway to increase
this limit?  I believe the 
"system" C call invokes the bourne shell.  Can either the bourne shell
or the kernel be rebuilt using
a larger value?  Or is there another way around this problem.  You help
is appreciated!
