[bug #56410] find -L doesn't follow symlinks outside the specified search scope

[Arthur Pogosyan]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #56410 (project findutils):

I've modified your script a little:

#!/bin/bash
set -u
if ! top="$(mktemp -d)"; then echo "Failed to create a temporary directory"
>&2; exit 1; fi
(
set -eCu
cd "${top}"
mkdir temp temp2
echo "test" >| temp/file0.txt
( cd temp2 && ln -s ../temp/file0.txt file )
if ! wc -c < temp2/file >/dev/null ; then exit 1; fi
echo
echo with -L
find -L temp2/ -type f
echo "(ends)"
echo
echo without -L
find temp2/ -type f
echo "(ends)"
echo
echo with -L ... -exec file
find -L temp2/ -type f -exec file '{}' \;
echo "(ends)"
echo
)
rv=$?
ls -ltR "${top}"
rm -rf "${top}"
exit $rv

So that i didn't do anything with found files and not using {}. But still with
-L option it shows me symlink instead of text file. 
Here's output script produced:

address@hidden:~# bash test.sh

with -L
temp2/file
(ends)

without -L
(ends)

with -L ... -exec file
temp2/file: symbolic link to ../temp/file0.txt
(ends)
