For what purpose do you use ARG_MAX value?
In Linux, ARG_MAX value varies by "ulimit -s xxxx" command.
In my environment, it's 2097152 by default, however, after
ulimit -s 1024
, it will be reduced to 262144.

So, I think it is not good idea to use ARG_MAX value for the
purpose other than its original purpose.
