The current limit of the default MS Windows shell is 8 kB according to
information found on Microsoft pages (among others). Are those 4890
characters mentioned above Unicode (UTF-16) characters (thus breaking the
limit)? Anyway, it might be possible to use a different command shell not
imposing such a limit, but that obviously requires installation of
additional software and thus may not be a completely general solution.
