Follow-up Comment #2:

Indeed, there seems to be some overflow bug in that heuristic which needs to
be fixed.

But a word about the reproducer.

[...]

If the shell is invoked like that, then one has to pass something as the
script name $0 to it;
otherwise the shell would see the first argument as script name:


$ seq 3 | xargs sh -c 'echo "$0: $@"'         
1: 2 3

$ seq 3 | xargs sh -c 'echo "$0: $@"' myscript
myscript: 1 2 3
