Hi All,

I'm not sure if this is expected behaviour or not, but I've noticed
the following:

"/usr/src/findutils-4.5.4-1/src/findutils-4.5.4/find/ftsfind.c", line
475, function: consider_visiting
Aborted (core dumped)

Of particular interest to me is the fact that the registry*
directories respond with "Bad file descriptor" because I was trying to
use find to locate a subkey based on a string pattern.

I assume the core dump at the end shouldn't occur as well?
