Details:

"find" mishandles symbolic permissions that contain
"X".  Here's a patch, which contains test cases illustrating
the problem along with a fix for it.  I discovered this when
bootstrapping "find" from CVS.  There are other bootstrapping
issues but I'll raise them in a different bug report.

This patch is relative to CVS findutils on Savannah.
