Follow-up Comment #1, bug #62622 (project findutils):
I noticed this a while ago but forgot to report it:
https://github.com/sharkdp/argmax/issues/1#issuecomment-972035652
`xargs` is trying to find the real limit with binary search:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/findutils.git/tree/lib/buildcmd.c?id=372cd34894e247fe5c2991eb75185ea2ec850ee2#n190
But `limit` can be far outside the range `[largest_successful_arg_count,
smallest_failed_arg_count]`.
