the attached patch should fix that
The attached patch already *is* in the package. And looks okay to me, but I'm really no programmer. But it seems to not work :( *sigh* It works fine in the newer packages in fc5 though The patch is correct, but a later findutils-arg-size.patch reverts one part of it. You can use (xargs -i...) as a workaround.
