Hmmm, it seems I can't reproduce your error message. I made a Tcl/Tk
script that set the PATH environment variable to a string of more than
8000 characters and it never complained. And a search for the error
message in the Grass sources indicates the message is not from Grass. My
"guess" is that the error is caused by your shell. At least I have heard
of these errors occurring in shells.

Sorry I can't be of much help. :(
