Details:

I just installed testwise findutils-4.5.13 (uner Linux openSUSE 13.1) but in
contrast to findutils-4.5.12 I got an error if I use the option "-ls".

For e.g.

~> /usr/local/bin/find . -ls

128078  236 drwxr-xr-x 394 user group 23756 Jul 17 16:33
./usr/local/soft2/bin/find: Failed to write output

or using the binary in the according source directory directly

/usr/local/src/findutils-4.5.13> find/find . -ls

535046    4 drwxr-xr-x  12 user group  4096 Jul 17 16:05 .find/find: Failed to
write output

So someone (find?) seems to prefix a "." to the used program path/name and
probably tries to write something in such a directory. If I testwise created
such
missing directory find works as expected.
