Hello,

having "~/bin" in PATH to support local user bin folders, does break find
execdir.
find bails out with:
"find: The relative path '~/bin' is included in the PATH environment variable,
which is insecure in combination with the -execdir action of find.  Please
remove that entry from $PATH"

Is there a reason to reject "~" or did it just slip through?

Thanks!
Markus
