Is the limit for the length of a line in a source'd file still 4096?  (It seems
to be.)  I have a 9030-character command that I need to be able to debug.
I can workaround the ladebug restriction by running the command directly,
then attaching to the process, but that's a bit cumbersome.  Can ladebug's
limit be increased via acommand line option or env. variable?  (I couldn't
find anything in the ladebug man page.)

Thanks,
	cheryl

Given dbx was 40960, why did ladebug stop at 4096? By my calculations
40960 bytes of physical memory costs about 25 cents...and ladebug isn't even
using it all the time :-)

Surely virtual memory costs virtually nothing?

130.15twasn't always so...QUARRY::petertrigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertaintyThu Feb 20 1997 10:214
But to be fair, it was originally 4096 in dbx too.  We had a request to up
it and a factor of 10 seemed reasonable.

    The limit is artificial.  We will look into this.
