Using chflags to remove "uarch" on more than one file at a time
(but when that file count is an even number) when the files are
hardlinked (have the same inode) and on ZFS doesn't work.

This becomes more problematic when using "find... -exec chflags nouarch {} +"
or "chmod -R".

Further details are in the bug report I just raised:
