Well, I thought of one case of chmod that will fail, finally, but it
certainly was never thought of by the Berkeley people... Consider:
AFS filesystem:
Have a find, with the following:
find <dir> \( -type d -exec fs sa {} ... write \; \) \( \! -type d -exec
chmod ... {} \; \)
Admittedly, this is a possibility that I thought of, but forgot to
include in my last message... (sorry). Nothing in UFS/NFS should be
affected. Nothing in the release depends on the order of a find
operation (or at least not without doing other processing that makes the
find's output irrelevant).
