System name: senator-bedfellow
What's wrong:
xargs -i dumps core.
senator-bedfellow# echo foo | xargs -i echo \| .
| .
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
senator-bedfellow# echo foo | xargs -ixx echo xx .
xx .
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
What should have happened:
xargs -i should not dump core.
tweedledumber+% echo foo | xargs -ixx echo xx .
foo .
(ie. GNU xargs works fine.)
