Follow-up Comment #1, bug #48030 (project findutils):
Just to make sure this bug has nothing to do with any of the individual
filenames, I tried it on generic filenames in such a way the total length of
the arguments is same.
# Following is how one can simply reproduce the bug
## First generate a very specific size sample directory
### Length of the filenames are crucial here
$ mkdir RashuBug
$ for i in $(seq -f "%04g" 901) ; do touch RashuBug/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv$i ;
done
$ for i in $(seq -f "%04g" 902 3719) ; do touch
RashuBug/abcdefghijklmnopqrstu$i ; done
$ ls RashuBug/* | wc -l
3719 # Number of files we have created in directory
## Now create an echo command which is 6 characters long
$ ln -s /bin/echo /bin/echooo # as root
## See the difference in the output of the following two commands
$ find RashuBug -type f -exec echo {} + | tr ' ' 'n' | wc -l
3719 # Correct answer
$ find RashuBug -type f -exec echooo {} + | tr ' ' 'n' | wc -l
3718 # Wrong answer (Last file went missing!)
