Follow-up Comment #2, bug #45780 (project findutils): I tested it under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I have no clue if it is pure GNU find or not. However, you are right about the mangled output of my example. Still, 6 characters is not enough; it should be increased. In /var, I have a lot of inodes using 7 characters (at least half). In another of my filesystems, they are all 7 characters long. What about you? Does it often goes over 6 characters? Maybe its time to increase the default from 6 to 8?
And under Cygwin (Windows), it is worse. 16 characters are needed minimum. So if there is a conditional compilation flag and cygwin is detected, I would increase it to 16 characters. $ find --version find (GNU findutils) 4.4.2 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
