Follow-up Comment #5:

This issue seems to happen when the 128k buffer for the
multiple execution is full and therefore executed, and if
then only one additional entry has to be processed.

The cause is in bc_push_arg() where state->todo is reset
to 0 during such immediate execution; i.e., setting it to 1
is done too early in that function.

As the cause of this bug is in the common lib/buildcmd.c source,
xargs(1) may also be affected, but I couldn't trigger the bug
there so far.

Providing a patch with a test case soon.
