    A problem that exists entirely within his (lack of) understanding of the
    software he's using.

    I'm sorry, but this is faulty logic. It would be valid only if the only
    thing that changed between the two distributions was find itself. Do
    you believe that's true?

    This is baseless and irrelevant. I'm running 9.1 and I can see the
    symptom. As I said in my first reply on this topic, it happens with Gnu
    find running under Cygwin on Windows.

    It is working correctly.

    It exhibits different behaviors on different systems because the systems
    are different, not because it is broken on some systems.

    Find does not have a bug. At least not regarding this behavior.

    I have no sacred cows, but I cannot allow false information and faulty
    logic to enter the SuSE-Linux-E archive unchallenged.

    I don't need to be told to "grow up" by you. I'm the only one here
    explaining real facts and using valid logic.

    I have no devotion to, feelings about or sense of obligation to defend
    any software, operating system or distribution.

    I do, however, feel some duty to defend facts and logic against the
    onslaught of nonsense.
