 Find in fact is working as documented. The manpage says "[...] will not 
 attempt to delete a filename with a ``/'' character in its pathname 
 relative to ``.'' for security reasons."
 Maybe one could document what those security reasons are, but the code 
 is correct.
 
 pr should be set to 'closed' or 'feedback'
