My diagnosis: the $ALL_FRIENDS variable is actually 1,964 characters

For such long lists of friends, etc., you should use some method
other than var assignment in your algorithm. Either grep against a file
or files, or (what I do) use filenames themselves for hashes kept
in a special area. (I described that once within the last year;
search the archives -- suggested words "hash" and "filename" -- if
you have interest.)
