It looks to me like you have problems once the # of characters in the 
at specification exceeds 244.  244 is the limit for "length of string 
in string expression", so maybe that limit applies for options to 
commands, or is otherwise somehow complicating things.

What puzzles me, though, is that in the original example, it seems 
the at option would be well under 244 characters.  I wonder if Mirko 
gave the exact commands he had typed or had simplified it?

There might also be some sort of problem if a string containing all 
the var names gets longer than 244 characters.  In his regoprob 
command, Mirko might just try putting the z vars first, so that their 
names will fall within the first 244 characters of all the var names.
