If you specify -files0-from twice, only the last one takes effect:


tavianator@tachyon $ printf find/tree.c >a
tavianator@tachyon $ printf find/util.c >b
tavianator@tachyon $ find -files0-from a -files0-from b
find/util.c


This is somewhat surprising, and there's no warning or anything.  I think
ideally it would use the starting points from both files.
