Details:
Hello,
this was found by Zhangrong Huang in http://bugs.debian.org/313081
mkdir testingfindagain
ln -s . testingfindagain/symlink
now
find testingfindagain -follow
will generate an endless loop. (For testing I suggest piping into head -c 200,
otherwise you might trigger OOM)
This was introduced between 4.2.18 and 4.2.19 (when changing find.c from r1.72
to r1.73). 4.2.x up to 4.2.18 will output this and exit:
find: Symbolic link `testingfindagain/symlink' is
part of a loop in the directory hierarchy; we have already visited the
directory to which it points.
testingfindagain
testingfindagain/symlink
