It's possible that you're running into a per-process limit, most likely
the maximum allowed size of the environment (e.g. the sum of the lengths
of all the environment variable names plus values).  Make sure you're
NOT doing `setopt all_export' or some such; if your login shell is not
zsh, try something like `printenv | wc' (I've forgotten whether solaris
has printenv) to find out how big the environment is.
