xargs completely broken under cygwin 3.6.0-0.108.gb7f5a33200a9

[Bruce Jerrick]

No need for attachments, the results are simply the same failure:

  $ xargs -t --show-limits < /dev/null
  xargs: Unexpected suffix cmdline on cmdline

  $ strace -o xargs.strace xargs -t --show-limits < /dev/null
  xargs: Unexpected suffix cmdline on cmdline

> Contents of /proc/.../cmdline is an argv array:
> ...

I get the same thing you showed:

  $ cat -A /proc/self/cmdline; echo
  cat^@-A^@/proc/self/cmdline^@

The runtime of the failed xargs is so short I haven't been able to capture
its /proc/*/cmdline, but I did get one from the 'strace ...":

  D:\cygwin64\bin\strace.exe^@-o^@xargs.strace^@xargs^@-t^@--show-limits

I can try older test versions of cygwin, to see where it first shows.
