It looks that I have.
First of all, ALL version numbers of the tools I used:

GNU find version 4.2.11 (cvs)
GNU xargs version 4.2.11 (cvs)
glib version 2.6.5 (the bug might also appear with other packages)

Assumed I am in ~/devel.

In devel, I do a 

tar jxvf glib-2.6.5.tar.bz2

and end up with a glib-2.6.5/ subdirectory. (The problems building glib are NOT supposed to be discussed in this thread)

Now let's look for a specific string:

$ find glib-2.6.5 -name '*' | xargs grep -i 'threads_got_initialized' > out1.log

Works! out1.log is a few kBytes big, and shows the matches I wanted.

Now let's do it a little differently:

$ cd glib-2.6.5
$ find . -name '*' | xargs grep -i 'threads_got_initialized' > out2.log

ATTENTION. out2.log will grow and grow ... and grew more than 2 GB here, until I got a "No space left on device".

$ find . -name '*' | xargs grep -i 'threads_got_initialized' | tee out2.log

works, though.

Can anyone of you reproduce this behavior?

-Andreas
