Not. Yes, and another problem I found within a day on the same netbsd-hp-m68k machine is that GNU find doesn't print sizes correctly in `-ls'. (It does work fine on a Linux machine.) OTOH, since the bugs were discovered on a machine in the gnu.ai.mit.edu domain, I think there's some hope they'll get fixed. OTOH, I generally prefer GNU find, since I can do something like `find -name foobar' and GNU find will do the equivalent of `find . -name foobar -print'. (I actually took the time to install GNU find in my account on a solaris machine because of this...)
