Max files in unix folder from PIL process

[Kane]

Yes I'm talking Linux not BSD so with any luck you won't have the same
'ls' issue; it is not a crash but painfully slow.  The only other issue
I recall is wildcards fail if they encompass too many files (presumably
a bash/max command line size).

I would expect the various GUI file managers may give unpredictable
results; I would also not rely on remotely mounting the bigdir
cross-platform.
