Right. So find either holds a file descriptor for each symlink
traversed, or just ignore this problems for inode-less filesystems
(find -L is relatively rarely used).
I agree that compromises are unavoidable.
However the bug I originally reported was not a theoretical one, it
was reported for a _real_ FUSE filesystem used on gentoo (which
carries find-4.3) and very likely will be reported for
smbfs/cifs/fat/etc sooner or later.
