And, with the right permissions, wc -c /proc/*/environ 2>/dev/null | sort -rn | less can show you the size of each process environment that you can read. If you know the process id (PID) involved, you can just "wc -c" that one directly. That might hint at whether there is actually something very big involved, or whether something else has gone wrong and the wrong error message is being reported.
