How about a stack traceback?
I'm so sorry, I thought this was clear and easy to reproduce/verify.
I'm using this to generate the script. The number of commands varies
between shell versions (and likely other platform stuff), so you might
need to play around with the values a bit:
{
printf "#!/bin/bash\n"
for ((x=0; x<50000; x++)); do printf ":;"; done
echo
} > length.sh
chmod +x length.sh
Attached [bash41_hugeinput.bt.txt] is an excerpt of the backtrace from a
Bash 4.1. The missing middle is always
execute_command_internal()/execute_command().
The original finding was with a Bash 3.2, where the BT looks accordingly.
