- The pgrep -f and pkill -f commands are unable to find processes strings
- in processes which are beyond the 4096th character. This often happens
- with Java command lines with long classpaths on the command line.

- A quick test to reproduce this is to vi a file using a filename over 4k
- (e.g. vi $(seq 1 1250| paste -s -d'_')_foo.txt) and leave vi running;
- then try running the new pgrep -af 'foo.txt' to find it.
