Argument list too long

[Vladislav Prodan]

Why 12K small files from one directory to cause problems?

# ll | wc -l
   11467

# grep X-PHP-Script * | more
/sbin/grep: Argument list too long.

# egrep X-PHP-Script *.ua | more
/usr/sbin/egrep: Argument list too long.

# cat *.ua | grep X-PHP-Script | more
/sbin/cat: Argument list too long.
