4. Is 32K limit a shell thing, or a limitation of the 'do shell
script' command? (Anyone know?) If the latter, should really be filed
as an AS bug. Either way, not too hard to work around.
It could also be a limitation of the shell parser; after all, it very
likely has to put the command (which in fact is an argument) to be
parsed/executed into some kind of memory buffer.
In my case (OS 10.2.3), the maximum length for a command passed to 'do
shell script' seems to be of 65350 characters; for longer commands,
AppleScript's error message (error of type 255) could refer to the
shell's return code.
On the other hand, returned values from 'do shell script' don't seem to
have an upper limit for their sizes, which is consistent with the idea
of standard output.
Just an hypothesis...
Axel
