Follow-up Comment #1, bug #64451 (project findutils):
A workaround for scripts is to perform checks as soon as possible and exit
1 (or other value) instead. Potentially hundreds of processes will still be
spawned but this avoids potentially processing outputs that are not yet
complete.
Another way is to catch 124 and interrupt the script right there.
