"-exec {} +" is distinct from "-exec {} \;". Both are part of POSIX[0].
Are you saying the former is not understood by OpenBSD?
If that's the case, I would prefer to simply use the latter than to use
xargs, because to use xargs safely it is necessary to do the -print0 |
xargs -0 dance, and IMO that looks ugly, and in this case we would only
save at most a couple of hundred forks.
