Hi people, please try to remember to always specify a path (even if it's
${S} or .) as the first argument to find. Relying upon find defaulting
to the current working directory when no path is provided will cause
porting problems (oh, and violates POSIX).

The correct way to invoke find to keep all the hoppy bunny rabbits happy
is "find [ -H | -L ] path ... [ operands ]".

Good:
find . -name 'foo'
find ${S} -type f

Evil:
find -name 'foo'
find -type f

If nobody objects, I might go through and fix current some of these at
some point in the future.
