Details:
fts_safe_changedir() in gnulib/lib/fts.c return ENOENT error if inode number
of a directory changed.
There are several Linux filesystems (including smbfs, fat, and some FUSE
based ones) which cannot provide stable inode numbers for unreferenced files
or directories.
In their cases find may in rare circumstances (if the cached in-core inode is
evicted from the cache) erronously fail to recurse into these directories.
This bug seems to have appeared in 4.3.0.
