Seems like GNU have a 'solution':

NAME
       xargs - build and execute command lines from standard input

SYNOPSIS
       xargs  [-0prtx]  [-e[eof-str]] [-i[replace-str]] [-l[max-lines]] [-n
       max-args] [-s max-chars] [-P max-procs]  [--null]  [--eof[=eof-str]]
       [--replace[=replace-str]]  [--max-lines[=max-lines]] [--interactive]
       [--max-chars=max-chars] [--verbose] [--exit] [--max-procs=max-procs]
       [--max-args=max-args] [--no-run-if-empty] [--version] [--help] [com­
       mand [initial-arguments]]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents the GNU version of  xargs.   xargs  reads
       arguments from the standard input, delimited by blanks (which can be
       protected with double or single quotes or a backslash) or  newlines,
       and  executes  the  command (default is /bin/echo) one or more times
       with any initial-arguments followed by arguments read from  standard
       input.  Blank lines on the standard input are ignored.

       xargs exits with the following status:
       0 if it succeeds
       123 if any invocation of the command exited with status 1-125
       124 if the command exited with status 255
       125 if the command is killed by a signal
       126 if the command cannot be run
       127 if the command is not found
       1 if some other error occurred.

Some characters were just not meant to be in filenames, which would avoid the
above.
