Details:

I have this directory structure with some trivial files
.
├── dir
│   ├── bar.c
│   └── one.c
├── dir-2
│   ├── another.c
│   ├── dir-4
│   │   └── file
│   ├── dir-5
│   │   └── file
│   ├── file
│   └── foo.c
├── dir-3
│   ├── dir-4
│   │   └── file
│   ├── dir-5
│   │   └── file
│   └── file
└── file

7 directories, 11 files

Running the command:

find -iname "*c" -exec echo '{}' +

returns

./dir-2/foo.c ./dir-2/another.c ./dir/bar.c ./dir/one.c

which is as expected.

But when I run:

find -iname "*c" -execdir echo '{}' +

it returns

./foo.c
./another.c
./bar.c ./one.c


And I was expecting

./foo.c ./another.c
./bar.c ./one.c


I'm using find (GNU findutils) 4.7.0-git
