[comp.sys.dec] Problem with xargs

I am trying to use xargs on a Dec 5000 under Ultrix 4.0. Here is what I type:

ls /usr/xy1/marc/tmp | xargs -i -t cp /usr/xy1/marc/tmp/\{} /tmp/\{}
cp /usr/xy1/marc/tmp/CRONTST /tmp/CRONTST
cp /usr/xy1/marc/tmp/core /tmp/core
cp /usr/xy1/marc/tmp/default.DECterm /tmp/default.DECterm
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

While it does the copy it also core dumps. I have tried the same
command on a Berkeley system and it runs fine. Am I doing something wrong?
