Sure there is, you just have to be very patient while typing 8-)

All OSes have limits on the command line length, on some of them the limit is
even different if you use a shell as opposed to forking a new process from 
another
one.

In theory we could even keep a list of the limits around and adapt them every 
now
and then, but then again it would be an incomplete (since we wouldn't have
input for each OS), outdated (information may change with a new OS version), 
hard
to maintain (the system property os.name may be different on different VMs) 
list.

And this with no real gain since <apply> wouldn't be smart enough to know how
to deal with command lines that are too long.  <chmod> is different, I agree, it
could know that it should simply split the command line and use multiple
invocations.
