The Data Area Passed to the System Call is Too Small

I got the following error in Firefox, while opening a new window with specified parameters, “the data area passed to the system call is too small”. there is some limitation in the length of the query string that is being passed (GET) request. automatically it gets screwed and the error is simply written in the browser. with Internet Explorer, we cant figure-out the error, since its error message is not at all helpful!!!
