Do find-dired on directory A.
Then do find-dired on directory B.
A second find-dired clobbers the first's buffer!
Imagine if there could only be one Dired buffer in emacs.
Well, the same goes for find-dired.

That's how the kinda related commands like M-x grep work -- if you want
more than one, you have to rename them. So I think this works as
advertised.

Yes, there are many ways to do this:
(add-hook 'dired-after-readin-hook 'rename-uniquely)
(add-hook 'compilation-mode-hook 'rename-uniquely)
or better
(setq compilation-buffer-name-function
(lambda (mode-name)
(generate-new-buffer-name
(concat "*" (downcase mode-name) "*"))))
...

Or better: Hit a key bound to `rename-buffer'.

Could we do a better job of teaching users the technique of using M-x
rename-uniquely in cases like this?
