Details:

The change you made to ftsfind.c has also caused a new problem with the
filesystem loop detection when following symlinks:

$ mkdir -p find1/dir1
$ touch find1/dir1/file1
$ ln -s dir1 find1/symlink_to_dir1
$ gfind-fts -L find1 -print
find1
find1/dir1
find1/dir1/file1
gfind-fts: Filesystem loop detected; find1/symlink_to_dir1 is part of
thesame
+filesystem loop as find1/symlink_to_dir1.
$ find -L find1 -print
find1
find1/dir1
find1/dir1/file1
find1/symlink_to_dir1
find1/symlink_to_dir1/file1

(There is also a typo in the message: "thesame" -> "the same".)

Regards,
Geoff.
