    Fix a corner case in RUN-PROGRAM with very long argument strings

     Argument string of length on the order of MOST-POSITIVE-FIXNUM
     could lead to severe crashes.

     I don't know why we bothered declaring FIXNUMs in RUN-PROGRAM.

     Also, play with the null termination code a bit, but, really,
     such long strings will only end up failing in the OS.

     Fixes lp#787237
