This issue still exists, but the fts code is a slightly later (but still broken) version. I forgot to comment that on the non-fts find, the error handling did exist, but was wrong. It assumed that readdir always make progress, even in the error case, but this is not in fact the case. That version of find could get stuck in an infinite loop calling readdir() and getting an error each time. Peter -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
