Or people who try to send every filename on a system through xargs in a single command process invocation as arguments (argv) without NUL-terminated strings. Just hope there are no odd or corrupt filenames, and plenty of memory. Oopsie. find -print0 with parallel -0/xargs -0 are usually your friends.

Also, sed and grep without LC_ALL=C can result in the fun "invalid multibyte sequence".
