Hello,
When find encouters a larger directory which causes an out-of-memory-error in
find it exits, without error message and with exitcode 0.
-------------
$ seq -w 0 1914300 | xargs -r touch
$ (ulimit -v 2500 ; exec /usr/bin/find ) ; echo $?
.
0
-------------
This applies to both 4.4.2 and 4.5.11. I have not been able to trigger the
behavior with oldfind.
Original report by Ángel González in <http://bugs.debian.org/712792> is
quoted below.

Package: findutils
Version: 4.4.2-4
If a folder has enough entries relative to the available memory, find
doesn't return any of them:
cd folder-with-too-many-entries
$ find
.
$ echo $?
0
$ ls -U | wc -l
1914188
$ ls
ls: memory exhausted
$ find --version

Tail of strace find:

Expected:
find should either run completely or fail with an error on stderr and
non-zero exit code.
