[bug #45930] -ignore_readdir_race ineffective in find 4.5.11 and 4.5.14

[Bernhard Voelker]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #45930 (project findutils):

The issue can be triggered with a shorter command line.

Run this in one terminal:

while env true; do sleep .001; done

and in another one this find(1) command:

$ find /proc -ignore_readdir_race -maxdepth 3 > /dev/null


With that, find(1) is hitting the error pretty reliably.

FWIW: Interestingly, 'oldfind', i.e., the old non-FTS implementation even runs
into an endless loop:

...
