Because 4.2.x was a stable release branch and 4.3.x was the trunk at the time. This is also why the bug is described as fixed in the NEWS file for 4.5.3 but not in the NEWS file for any 4.2.x release. $ grep 19391 4.2.x/fixbug-4.2/findutils/NEWS 4.5/findutils/NEWS 4.5/findutils/NEWS:#19391: When xargs knows that the system's actual exec limit is larger Both the current stable release series (4.4.x) and the current development release series (4.5.x) also include that change. Thanks, James.
