Follow-up Comment #4, bug #38658 (project findutils):

xargs exits immediatly when you simulate exitcodes 124, 125, 126, 127. what
for is that? in my opinion unsusable.

for backwards compatibility it should be new option to xargs that will make
continue running if it is sense. a lot of commands returns 255. for example
SVN client when repo is unavailable.
