(Get the code!)
xargs -0 touch < foo
Where foo is a file containing no NUL bytes that is longer than 128Kb. If the file is shorter, I get an error from touch instead, which seems reasonable (file name too long). But why does xargs complain?
In fact, I got the error message slightly wrong, it is:
"argument line too long"
