[bug #15384] find misbehaves when parent directory is not readable

[Eric Blake]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #15384 (project findutils):

Revisiting this old bug, I wonder if the fts algorithm in 4.3.x matters.

Anyways, while trying to reproduce this, I did:

$ d=/tmp/.private/d
$ mkdir -p $d
$ chmod a-rx /tmp/.private
$ dirname $d
/tmp/.private
$ find --version |head -n1
GNU find version 4.3.8
$ find $d
find: `/tmp/.private/d': Permission denied
$ oldfind $d
assertion "starting_desc >= 0" failed: file
"/home/eblake/findutils-4.3.8-1/src/findutils-4.3.8/find/find.c", line 201
Hangup

So there's certainly still a problem.
