Subject:	B19.1: Bug in compiled version of find from Findutils4.1

Hi,

I have the following problem with the version of find that
ships with B19.1. If I create a directory called
/00/00/00/00/00 and then run find on /00 it stops searching
after /00/00/00!

The problem always occurs when the first three directories
have the same name (eg /tt/tt/tt/tt, /mm33/mm33/mm33/mm33,
etc) and contain no files.

I obtained the latest version from the GNU source archive
(finutils-4.1) and compiled in on a Solaris machine. It
worked OK. I took the same code and compiled it under the
B19.1 CDK and it produced the same results as described
above (it didn't work).

An API error?

Cheers beers,

Ant.
