    I have fixed several problems in /usr/bin/find in the "release.dev" locker:
    - Process directories after their contents (this allows such things as
      find -rm to work properly).

This is of course, different from find everywhere else and will cause
other operations that used to depend on the directories being
processed first to lose.  What about a find that is used to change
permissions?

I think this change is a bad idea.  There are other ways to do find -rm.
