Follow-up Comment #3, bug #47220 (project findutils):

It would really be interesting to be able to reproduce.
It seems that there's either a leak in xargs, or a bug in the
detection whether there are leaks.  With the given information
so far, I think it's the latter, i.e., it reports false positive
information.

Do you see any chance to reproduce?
E.g. something similar to this:
  exec 99>x
  seq 10 | xargs echo

Regarding the patch: indeed, the leak detection should not be
active in the default binary.
Actually, it if turns out to be a bug, then maybe we should
remove the fdleak.c functionality at all from the xargs
executable, and rather have improved tests.

Have a nice day,
Berny
