Details:

Because findutils-4.3.1 pulled from gnulib on Mar 31 2006, it is missing
several bug fixes that have been folded in since then.  For example:

$ find --version
GNU find version 4.3.1
Features enabled: O_NOFOLLOW(enabled) LEAF_OPTIMISATION FTS CBO(level=0) 
$ find -type f -regex '.*[.]txt'
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Contrasted with a fresh CVS build, using up-to-date gnulib:

$ find/find --version
GNU find version 4.3.2-CVS
Features enabled: O_NOFOLLOW(enabled) LEAF_OPTIMISATION FTS CBO(level=0) 
$ find/find -type f -regex '.*[.]txt'
./find/testsuite/excuses.txt
