Find in fact is working as documented. The manpage says "[...] will not
attempt to delete a filename with a ``/'' character in its pathname
relative to ``.'' for security reasons."
Maybe one could document what those security reasons are, but the code
is correct.
pr should be set to 'closed' or 'feedback'
