[mrtg] Maximum hosts passed to cfgmaker?

I think I may have hit a limit of the maximum number of hosts that can
be passed as command-line arguments to cfgmaker. I have some custom
code that determines which devices should be added (runs nightly), then
passes all devices to a single instance of cfgmaker to create a single
.cfg file for monitoring. Lately I've seen some of the devices dropped
from the output .cfg file, and odd behavior for the first device polled.
Below you can find the first portion of a .cfg file showing the problem.
SNMP communities and IPs have been altered to preserve anonymity.
Notice how the first device / interface polled shows a different IP in
the error description than in the commented-out interface. The last
device successfully polled by cfgmaker is 10.20.1.97 (output not
included), which means the last 6 devices weren't touched. Also, at the
end of the .cfg file are 6 empty description blocks (with System:
Description: Contact: Location:).
Have I reached a hard-coded limitation for cfgmaker? Do I need to split
this up into multiple subsets to handle this many devices?
Thanks in advance for all your help. I've used and loved MRTG for years
now, and really enjoy learning how to extend its functionality through
custom scripts using RRDTool.
