 In t.unregister the "maps" parameter seems to be limited to ca. 5000 maps.

 I have a strds with ca. 20k raster maps and tried to remove all by piping
 the output from t.rast.list to the "maps" parameter in t.unregister. After
 some testing I found out that the "maps" parameter works fine with 5000
 maps, but with 6000 maps and more I got an "Argument list to long" error.

 However, unregistering of all 20k maps worked fine when output from
 t.rast.list was stored in a file and then t.unregister`s "file" parameter
 used.

 BTW, maybe a flag for unregistering all maps in a stds would be useful?
