Hi,

xargs seems to be broken right now...
could someone reproduce the following sequence ?

# uname -a
FreeBSD gits 4.6-STABLE FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE #15: Sun Jun 23 06:31:23 CEST 2002     root@gits:/disk2/freebsd/src/sys/compile/CUSTOM  i386
# ident /usr/bin/xargs
/usr/bin/xargs:
     $FreeBSD: src/usr.bin/xargs/xargs.c,v 1.9.2.3 2002/06/17 04:44:46 jmallett Exp $
     $FreeBSD: src/usr.bin/xargs/strnsubst.c,v 1.5.2.1 2002/06/17 04:44:46 jmallett Exp $
# cd /home/ncvs
# find ports -type d | grep -v Attic | sort -u > /tmp/p
# cd /usr
# xargs ls -d < /tmp/p
xargs: ls: Argument list too long
# gxargs ls -d < /tmp/p
(using gnu xargs from findutils port)
ports
ports/Mk
ports/Templates
ports/Tools
...
