---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0005974) geoffclare (manager) - 2022-09-26 10:54 https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1606#c5974 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Since find is not allowed to write to standard error (except for the -ok prompt) when its exit status is zero, the requirement to write to standard error when an infinite loop is detected automatically brings with it a requirement that the exit status be nonzero. See XCU 1.4 Utility Description Defaults -> STDERR -> Default Behavior. However, it would make sense to state this explicitly, along the lines suggested in the desired action.
