Most shells won't allow an argument list that long.
% find /usr/ports -depth 3 -name pkg-plist -exec grep libfoobar.so \{} \;
has been shown to be faster than hacking around arg list limits with
echo | xargs.
Unfortunately neither method works with automatically generated plists....
I did in fact bump into too lengthy an argument list.
An alternative to your suggestion which worked for me was a for/do loop
in bash.
Thanks to both
