Hi We have some code that parses the output of
xargs -show-limits specifically the "Maximum length of command we could actually use" line We noticed when updating from findutils 4.2.30 to 4.4.2 that it appeared the number was different and it appeared that the environment size was being subtracted twice. I notice in findutils 4.2.30 that line 446 in buildcmd.c doesn't actually modify ctl->posix_arg_size_max ctl->posix_arg_size_max - size_of_environment; This was changed/corrected to ctl->posix_arg_size_max -= size_of_environment; in findutils 4.4.2, buildcmd.c line 479 So in xargs.c, should line 699 be changed to not subtract the environment again? 699,700c699 < (unsigned long)(bc_ctl.posix_arg_size_max - < bc_size_of_environment())); --- > (unsigned long)bc_ctl.posix_arg_size_max); Thank you Donald Zoch
