What to do with “The input line is too long” error message?

I got the same message but it was strange because the command was not that long (130 characters) and it used to work, it just stopped working one day. I just closed the command window and opened a new one and it worked. I have had the command window opened for a long time (maybe months, it's a remote virtual machine). I guess is some windows bug with a buffer or something.
