Interesting!  I was one with wrong idea for the root cause.

Hmm... Interesting.  So actual limitation is placed by Linux kernel and
not bash.

In either cases, use of "find" or "xargs" solves these issues.

I undesrand recompiling kernel to accomodate this type of script comes
with too much risks for DOS.
