I am not so sure that this is a bug but a limitation. I am using
"du" for a disk file listing/usage in the command:
du --all --time --human-readable --apparent-size $1;
You did not specify any problems with the above line pertaining to "du".
printf "Total number of files: "; find $1 -type f | wc -l;
The above line does not relate to "du", but to "find" and "wc".
But it seems to maximum out the file count to 38341
So I am thinking that this is a limitation to the counter in "wc"?
I don't think so. You can easily check wc's counter by generating known
input, e.g. as follows:
$ yes | head -n80000 | wc -l
80000
$ yes | head -n2678400 | wc -l
2678400

I do not see the limit you observed.
With no follow-ups in 2 years, I'm closing this bug.
