Follow-up Comment #2, bug #15384 (project findutils): Revisiting this old bug, I wonder if the fts algorithm in 4.3.x matters.
Anyways, while trying to reproduce this, I did: $ d=/tmp/.private/d $ mkdir -p $d $ chmod a-rx /tmp/.private $ dirname $d /tmp/.private $ find --version |head -n1 GNU find version 4.3.8 $ find $d find: `/tmp/.private/d': Permission denied $ oldfind $d assertion "starting_desc >= 0" failed: file "/home/eblake/findutils-4.3.8-1/src/findutils-4.3.8/find/find.c", line 201 Hangup So there's certainly still a problem. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15384> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
