    _______________________________________________________

Details:

To reproduce, try

$ mkdir -p a/{b,.c,.de}
$ find -name '.[!.]*' -o -name '[!.]*' -printf '%f\n'
b

Yet, we have
$ find -name '.[!.]*' -o -name '[!.]*'
./b
./.c
./.de

Although I have since realized that '-not -name .' is the right way to solve
my original problem (instead of the options with the glob patterns), the first
find command above does indeed show a bug.

Thanks.
