Yes, this is a bug. The bug was introduced in findutils version 4.2.19 and was fixed in version 4.2.22. The current stable release of findutils (4.2.23, see ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/findutils) therefore contains this fix. See also http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-findutils/2005-06/msg00115.html http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=13381 The findutils test suite should contain a test case for this problem - and many other tests - but is still rather incomplete and lacks this check among others. Apologies. James Younmgan. _______________________________________________ Bug-findutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-findutils
