<br><br>Actually, this may be an instance of the bug that gnulib commit 833333 was
<br>designed to fix. In other words, the Solaris bug is that HUGE_VAL was defined
<br>as a function address rather than a floating point constant, so
<br>(-1.0*HUGE_VAL) will be just as much of a syntax error as -HUGE_VAL. And if
<br>I'm correct, you should revert commit 8ba9443ed5 from findutils, and instead
<br>merely assure that you are using the gnulib module math from a new enough
<br>snapshot of gnulib. But I don't have access to an x86_64 Solaris machine to
<br>quickly confirm this.

<br><br>POSIX explicitly allows but does not require hard links to directories, and
<br>leaves it up to the implementation whether they will allow this behavior (and
<br>even on systems where it is allowed, POSIX also allows restricting the
<br>creation of directory hard-links to privileged users). POSIX also requires
<br>that find detect any file system cycles (whether by directory hard links on
<br>systems where they are supported, or when using find -L on cyclical symlinks
<br>which can occur on all POSIX systems) rather than going into an infinite
<br>loop.
<br><br>Newer findutils uses gnulib's enhanced fts() API, which is supposed to detect
<br>file system loops (due to directory hard links), and avoid infinite loops.
<br>Your original test of findutils 4.2.20 used a hand-rolled iterator rather than
<br>fts(), so it may indeed be a bug that has been fixed in the meantime.

<br><br>When I have a chance, I'll try to build findutils on my Mac and see if the
<br>problem still exists. Unfortunately, I'm extremely busy at a new job at the
<br>moment.
<br><br>I can't imagine, however, that if nothing were done specifically to avoid
<br>Time Machine filesystems, that the problem could have gone away on its own.
<br>Running 'find' nightly on a filesystem that allows hard links to directories
<br>can never be a good thing. Not unless find has somehow been modified to be
<br>smart about such things. But hard links to directories have never been allowed
<br>in a Posix-compliant filesystem, have they?
<br><br>Also, one typically wouldn't want to have the contents of a Time Machine
<br>filesystem cluttering up one's "locate" results anyway, even if it could be
<br>made to work.
<br><br>Re the request for more information: I'm not sure what additional info you
<br>require. It's not easy to gather more information; I don't recall if there was
<br>even a comprehensible panic message in the log file. Instead of working from
<br>log files, I used the scientific method. I was able to deduce the cause of the
<br>problem due to the fact that the Mac would reliably crash every night in the
<br>wee hours of the morning, when the "locate" database was being updated. I
<br>hypothesized that "find" would use up an infinite amount of system resources
<br>if it were asked to infinitely recurse on a filesystem that allows directory
<br>loops. I turned off my Time Machine disk drive and the problem went away. I
<br>turned it back on and the problem came back. I then went into the anacron
<br>config file that ran the nightly "locate" db find, and commented out the
<br>offending line. The problem went away.

<br><br>findutils 4.5.5 freshly compiled crashes. applying just that patch and it no

<br><br>i hit this issue a few times on and off (sometimes it'd segfault, sometimes
<br>it'd hang). when i hit these cases again, i'll try the patched find to make
<br>sure it fixes the issues.

<br><br>Essentially there was a bug in the code that was supposed to deal with the
<br>situation where exec fails due to an over-long command line. Since the code
<br>tries not to exceed ARG_MAX anyway, this code was rarely exercised and so
<br>nobody noticed the bug until now.
<br><br>I have a patch which looks very promising, but it's large and I haven't fully
<br>tested it yet. I'll attach it to this bug RSN.
