Huh?  What should be the reason for this?  The recursive commands from
fileutils are runnning fine under 1.5.9.  And I have a local build of
coreutils which also doesn't have problems under 1.5.9.

fileutils is irrelevent because the recursion code was overhauled (the 
bds fts library is used). My local build of coreutils gives me problems 
for chgrp -R, I'm assuming there are problems with other commands:
