Summary:  find does unwanted permission check on pruned directory

Original Submission:  Find reports an error in the following situation:

$ mkdir noxdir
$ chmod a-x noxdir
$ find * -prune -type d -print
find: noxdir: Permission denied
$ echo $?
1

Since the directory will be pruned, find should not be checking its 
permissions.  It should write "noxdir" to stdout (and its exit status should be 
0).
