Xargs Incorrect number of lines “-I”

[Titkov, Sergey]

I apologize for my English.

I am running the commands.
All commands are executed sequentially.
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
Active code page: 1251

c:\Program Files\Unix Tools\TEST>xargs.exe --version
GNU xargs version 4.2.20

c:\Program Files\Unix Tools\TEST>dir /B
find.exe
libiconv2.dll
libintl3.dll
locate.exe
updatedb
xargs.exe

I have six files.
c:\Program Files\Unix Tools\TEST>dir /B | xargs.exe -I {} echo {}
find.exe
libiconv2.dll

Two files. The rest of the file names are not evidence.
c:\Program Files\Unix Tools\TEST>dir /B | xargs.exe -I {} echo {}
find.exe
libiconv2.dll
libintl3.dll
locate.exe
updatedb
xargs.exe

All of the files is present.
c:\Program Files\Unix Tools\TEST>dir /B | xargs.exe -I {} echo {}
find.exe
libiconv2.dll
libintl3.dll

Three files.
Why xargs shows number of different files?
