Details:

In response to #13303 find nowadays will not dump non printable characters on
a tty as a result of -print. However *errormessages* still dump the
non-printable characters to the console.

How to reproduce:
address@hidden:/tmp/$ mkdir /tmp/findtests && cd /tmp/findtests
address@hidden:/tmp/findtests$ for i in `seq 0 99` ; do mkdir `dd
if=/dev/urandom bs=1 count=30` ; done ; chmod -x *
address@hidden:/tmp/findtests$ LC_ALL=C find -type d -print
[ Be surprised as the terminal will start beeping et.al.]

This seems to be fixed in 4.3.1. (In the regular find binary, find/oldfind
still shows the problem.)
