[Bug 1225878] [NEW] Support for more arguments

[Sworddragon]

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 dev with bash 4.2-5ubuntu3 and dash
0.5.7-3ubuntu1. Calling a command with more than 65533 arguments will
result in an error that the argument list is too long. Maybe bash/dash
can support a number of arguments that matches the pointer size of the
system (especially because sh is called from system() in C).

** Affects: dash (Ubuntu)
