Follow-up Comment #1, bug #47220 (project findutils): Could you provide an example command line which exhibits this problem (even if the problem does not occur every time)?
What does file descriptor 8 point to when this happens? If you are using Linux you should be able to figure this out by running xargs under a debugger, and running "ls -l /proc/NN/fds" when the abort is reached. Of course you will need to use the actual PID of the xargs process instead of NN. Does this problem still occur with the current release (4.6.0, available from ftp.gnu.org)? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47220> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
