    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.
