Well, then zargs is not POSIX compliant if I read
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/utilities/xargs.html
right as the POSIX documentation does not mention aborting if there
are more than "-n arg" arguments in total. On the contrary, it talks
about using fewer than "arg" if there are less _during the last
iteration_.

Kind regards,
