"that one of the files" --> "that the name of one of the files"

This occurs twice, at least.

That sentence works even out of context if you
say it's about file names that are *being printed*:

   "If there is the faintest possibility that a *file name
   printed by @command{find}* might contain a newline, you should use
   @samp{-print0} instead."

Indeed, only "file name" -> "file names".
