--- Comment #9 from Andreas Dilger (adilger.kernelbugzilla@...ger.ca) ---
I took a look at the find code at
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/findutils.git and while the "ftsfind.c" code
does not check nlinks directly (presumably that is done in fts), the
"oldfind.c::process_dir()" code has a check if st_nlink < 2 to disable the
"subdirs" heuristic.
