Gnu: ls won't run if you have too many files in a directory. Apparently
there is a fixed buffer for sorting and such that will allow only so many
characters in the total pathnames seen. Better to ask for more memory or
shell to another way when buffer overflow occurs so that command does not fail.
System is 5.0, March 2004, in Red Hat Fedora.
