I tried an example where I do:

    system("echo xxxxxxxxxx.....  ", 2)

For me, it seems to fail, not by crashing, but by simply not echoing,
when I get to around 124 characters in the command.
There's nothing that I'm doing in system() to limit the command
length. It's got to be a DOS thing. If the path is really not
too long for DOS 7, you could try passing it to huff.ex
via a temporary file, or perhaps try things using exw.exe.
Even better, you could try to avoid using extremely long paths.
