This is most likely not a NSTask limitation but a generic command-line

(CTL_KERN, KERN_ARGMAX in <sys/sysctl.h>). Note that this is a
character limit, not an argument limit; sysctl.h does not make this
very clear.

What I want to know is why a modern operating system would have such a limitation in the first place.

It's not like memory allocation is that hard a problem.
