I missed you on IRC (CEST) but yes, there is indeed a systme imposed  
maxium argument size (of about 64 KB), and for that reason, tm_dialog  
should generally be called with the plist written to its stdin (as you  
changed it to do).

We’ll gladly patch the default dialog.py with your changes, just send  
the patch here or paste on IRC, and someone will pick it up :)
