One of the notes on that tree of bugzilla ids references an email sent to one of the gnu mail lists. The bug is that xargs' test for the size of the env comes before the args are parsed; the arg -s allows the env to be elarged, but xargs fails to take that into consideration before bailing out. The error only shows up at boot because the rc process must be creating an env larger than 20k. Once booted your shell has a much smaller env. (Mine is just under 3k.) -JimC -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
