When installing Octave w/ Cyg19.1B I have found that the script
install_octave failed because in line
find $fcnfiledir -type f -print | xargs chmod 0644
xargs received in input a bit more that 9K of filenames.
any input > of this resulted in
XARGS provoked a stack error in module KERNEL32.DLL at 0137:bff725c5.
obviously all went right when I changed the line
find $fcnfiledir -type f -print | xargs --max-args=50 chmod 0644
but isn't it a bug?
