Already fixed in gnulib since 2008-04-22:

Better try the followup patch in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2008-04/msg00258.html>.

Note that gnulib version e5573b1bad88bfabcda181b9e0125fb0c52b7d3b is from
2007-12-20, whereas findutils-4.4.2 was released on 2009-06-06. Nowadays,
if you fear to pick up instabilities when upgrading to newer gnulib versions,
you can mitigate this risk by using the stable snapshots that Ian Beckwith
publishes for us at
