Follow-up Comment #13, bug #18554 (project findutils):
Egmont, you raise an interesting point about the limit on the number of
arguments. There is nothing in POSIX about such a limit, but I don't think
there is anything that forbids it either.
The -exec sh -c 'utility ... "$@" ...' sh {} + technique is well known and
often recommended on comp.unix.shell, so if there is a potential problem with
it on Linux I would say that is a (quality of implementation) problem for
Linux, not a problem that POSIX needs to address. It could easily be
mitigated by putting a smaller limit in find on the number of arguments it
aggregates. A limit of 32000 would leave plenty of room for additional fixed
arguments to be passed to the utility.
