This is due to a recent xargs rewrite by me. I used popen instead of
fork/exec/fopen/fread cuz it was a lot simpler. Support for vfork (and maybe a
couple of other library calls) will need to be added to uC-libc before xargs
will work. I thought my modifications to xargs would be fairly small and
inocuous, but like the man once said: "There's no such thing as a simple
change."

Dah, well...
