Similarly to sage -grep, works like a charm. This is the first Sage
installation where this problem has come up, so the problem must have
come in since 4.0.2. Where is the code for these sage -foo commands?
I found them once but have forgotten where they are.
The following from man find might be relevant, since that is the error
message which I am getting:
-exec utility [argument ...];
True if the program named utility returns a zero value as
its
exit status. Optional arguments may be passed to the
utility.
The expression must be terminated by a semicolon
(``;''). If the
string ``{}'' appears anywhere in the utility name or the
argu-
ments it is replaced by the pathname of the current file.
Utility will be executed from the directory from which
find was
executed. Utility and arguments are not subject to the
further
expansion of shell patterns and constructs.
but I don't know where find is used here. Does grep call find? (That
is obviously a shell newbie question, apologies.)
