Yes, the bug lies in my shell.

This is exactly the case (only my command is "tla add"). Because I have
to do the import in multiple calls for Perforce and Arch, I decided not
to post the results of this test (even though I did obtain such results
via "find | xargs tla add" or "find | xargs p4 add") as CVS / SVN
could have an unfair advantage unless I recompile my shell with a bigger
limit.
