         Hey there,

I've seen the changes you made in commit b6a2fea39318 and I guess they
might be responsible for my xargs breakage...

In the kernel source tree, if I run a stupid find | xargs ls, I now get
this:
xargs: ls: Argument list too long

Which is kind of annoying but I can work around it though make distclean in
my kernel tree dies with the same symptom (aka -E2BIG).

You can work around it many ways, using the options provided for xargs or using ls directly being among them.
   find . -ls

I don't see it with 2.6.23-rc8-git3 so it may be related to xargs version as well, I have 4.2.27 in FC6.

I run a vanilla 2.6.23-rc9 (Linux version 2.6.23-rc9 ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
(gcc version 4.1.2 20070925 (Red Hat 4.1.2-27)) #1 Tue Oct 2 08:13:47 EDT
2007) on FC7...

Let me know if I can do anything.  I'm going to try to bisect the problem
after I recompile the kernel without this patch...

Best,
Mathieu

I said I was hoping that -rc8 was the last -rc, and I hate doing this, but we've had more changes since -rc8 than we had in -rc8. And while most of them are pretty trivial, I really couldn't face doing a 2.6.23 release and take the risk of some really stupid brown-paper-bag thing.
