Yeah.  xargs reads a number of filenames, then executes etags, then
reads another bunch of filenames, executes etags again.

The last bunch overwrites the previous TAGS files.

etags has an option to append to the previous TAGS file.  Maybe you
have to remove the old one before running the find command.
