Hi list,

I have 2 core files from the find command.
It's findutils-4.8.0-1.20 from SuSE SLES15SP5.

Core was generated by `find -type f -name *xx* -empty -delete'.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The fts_cycle looks corrupted.
Is this a known and maybe fixed problem in a newer version (I couldn't find anything) ?
I don't know what is causing the problem and can not reproduce it. It happened once in November and once in January.
Btw the find was called in / by mistake.

Many thanks in advance.
Dietmar.
