But – according to the new POSIX standard

 one can use “xargs“ to get rid of any linefeed trouble at all:
 
   find . -iname \*fred\* -type f -print0 |
   xargs -0 -r -x -- ls -lt --
 
 That will work with any file names, even those containing a linefeed
 character.

OK, print0 is going to become standard, but nowadays I already prefer
(when I use iname for my comfort)

    find . -iname \*fred\* -type f -exec ls -lt -- {} +

I don't see any advantage using print0 and xargs -0.
