Hello
it seems this bug occurs only with mawk as system default awk (Debians default).
When gawk is used instead ... well at least it spews out a different error:

xargs is independent of gawk/mawk. however I can't even reproduce this one:
LC_ALL=C xargs --show-limits < /dev/null 2>&1 | awk '/Maximum/ {print int($NF /
4)}'
