I can't reproduce the problem. Isn't there an upper limit for the
number of bytes on the command line? Maybe this limit was exceeded.

Doesn't make much sense to me. Plugins could just as well use the
standard mechanism to store parameters in setup.conf. For 1.3 you
could add a third parameter to SetupStore for a description of
options. In the setup menu the description of the currently
highlighted option could be displayed in the last osd line.
Additionaly the description could be stored as comment in setup.conf
for those who want to manually edit that file. The -P parameter
wouldn't be necessary at all if there was an osd menu to
enable/disable plugins at runtime.
