I have compromised on this. You get more space for interfaces, but
if the ALLCLASS variable grows too large cfagent dumps the environment
from the environment variable channel. I think a large environment
would crash the exec call if someone called modules with such a large
variable. Most Unices won't cope.

But this should not affect most people. 

Change in 2.1.0 end of october. (RElease at LISA 03 cfengine birthday
party)
