Thanks for your report.

There is nothing else than a normal behavior  here.

The man page says for option -L : "Use at most max-lines nonblank input lines 
per command line."
This means that xargs reads max-lines from input then execute command then read 
max-lines then execute command, etc...

Input items are delimited by blank or newlines. Hence, with 1 as
arguments it reads input lines one by one. That's what you get.


** Changed in: findutils (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
