Thanks for the report; however, you sent it to bug-coreutils, which does
not maintain find; and find does not use coreutils' bug database.  Your
best bet is to report it to findutils:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=findutils

I'm closing this bug in the coreutils bug database, since we can't
address it here, but good luck, and feel free to followup here with a
link to the bug id that you eventually create in case it helps someone
else viewing the archives.
