I read through the xargs/findutils source code and it appears it is determined
on each invocation of xargs.

It first finds the true value with  sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX) (which is 131072), if
that is not available, it uses LONG_MAX, which is 2147483647 (look in
bc_get_arg_max from lib/buildcmd.c). It takes that number and subtracts the 
the
amount of the environment currently used.

So there's several possibilities. One is that sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX) isnt
available for some reason or is, but is incorrect. Another is a math error
somewhere in xargs.

Run the following C code:

#include <unistd.h>
#define LONG_MAX (~(1 << (sizeof (long) * 8 - 1)))
int main(void) {
        printf("%d\n",sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX));
        printf("%d\n",LONG_MAX);
}
