xargs and upstream bug?



just checking to see if is just a cygwin issue or is up stream.


http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=14587


from man xargs:


 --max-lines[=max-lines], -L[max-lines]
     Use  at  most max-lines nonblank input lines per command line; max-lines defaults to 1 if omitted.
     Trailing blanks cause an input line to be logically continued on the next input line.  Implies -x.
