just checking to see if is just a cygwin issue or is up stream.

from man xargs:

  --max-lines[=max-lines], -L[max-lines]
      Use  at  most max-lines nonblank input lines per command line; max-lines defaults to 1 if omitted.
      Trailing blanks cause an input line to be logically continued on the next input line.  Implies -x.
