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.
