>Description:
The documentation for 'find -delete' includes the following remark:

    It will not attempt to delete a filename with a “/” character in its pathname relative to “.” for security reasons. 

This reflects a defensive test early in f_delete. However, the test will not succeed, since find does not use FTS_NOCHDIR, so entry->fts_accpath should never contain "/".

I suggest that this remark be deleted from the man page.
