According to Howard Mak on 11/2/2006 12:31 PM:
> Using "-path '*/.*' -prune" prunes too many files from find output when files to prune actually exists.
> 
> Problem occurs in both version 4.3.0 + 4.3.1 of find.
> Problem does *not* occur in version 4.2.27.

I seem to recall a thread in the upstream list complaining about
brokenness in -prune.  I'll go research that, and see if it ever came to a
resolution (hopefully it was reported and fixed post-4.3.1, which would
explain why you are seeing the problem).
