I've just realised this is mentioned under BUGS in man 1 find, so my
query changes to: "anyone fancy fixing it and/or giving me some
pointers on how to fix it", or maybe suggest a better way for me to do
this?
"find -L . -type l -exec rm '{}' \;" strikes me as likely to be the
fastest alternative... though it's not very pretty ;)
