>Description:
The documentation for 'find -delete' includes the following remark:
It will not attempt to delete a filename with a / character in its
pathname relative to . for security reasons.
This reflects a defensive test early in f_delete. However, the test will not
succeed, since find does not use FTS_NOCHDIR, so entry->fts_accpath should
never contain "/".
I suggest that this remark be deleted from the man page.
