Follow-up Comment #3, bug #24561 (project findutils):

Should we for whatever reason decide not to change the code,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] suggests an example:

JY> If you would like to propose an illustrative problem for which
JY> your workaround is the most effective solution, we can probably
JY> include that in the documentation as an example.

OK, please mention something like:
-ok in contrast to -exec, has its stdin redirected for various reasons.
To workaround this, where one would normally use -ok, one should use e.g.,
-ok true ; -exec ed {} ; #to edit selected files
-ok true ; -exec mplayer {} ; #to play selected songs
