Thanks, I now see the problem; it's a readdir race, where 'find' uses
readdir to get a batch of directory entries, then execs 'gzip' which
removes one of them, and then 'find' later complains when it gets around
to processing the now-removed entry. 'find' traditionally ignored that
sort of thing; I don't know why GNU 'find' changed this (for some reason
it's fstatatting the file twice? why?). I still cannot reproduce the
problem, so I expect it's OS- or filesystem-dependent.
Anyway, Glenn's patch should avoid the problem, so I installed it (with
a few minor simplifications) as emacs-24 bzr 117370, and am marking this
as done. This version of the patch does not look for gzip failures;
that can be done on the trunk later.
