Bug 445795

Description of problem:
The -noleaf option of the find command has the following meaning:

Do not optimize by assuming that directories contain 2 fewer subdirectories
than their hard link count.

This option needs to be used on RHEL4 kernel to display correct count
of files with permissions for example of 666:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.9-67.0.7.EL 

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. find /proc -perm 666 | wc -l
find: /proc/29869/task/29869/fd/4: No such file or directory
0

2. Find claims there are no files in /proc filesystem with 
permissions of 666.

3. But when using -noleaf option to the "find" command, the correct
number of files with 666 permissions is found:

# find /proc -noleaf -perm 666 | wc -l
find: /proc/29908/task/29908/fd/4: No such file or directory
find: /proc/29908/fd/4: No such file or directory
435


4. The same command on RHEL5(2.6.18-53.1.14.el5):

# find /proc -perm 666 | wc -l
find: /proc/17104/task/17104/fd/4: No such file or directory
find: /proc/17104/fd/4: No such file or directory
1215


5. The output of "find -noleaf" command on RHEL5:

# find /proc -noleaf -perm 666 | wc -l
find: /proc/17113/task/17113/fd/4: No such file or directory
find: /proc/17113/fd/4: No such file or directory
1215
  
Actual results:
The number of files in /proc filesystem with specific permission type is the
same on RHEL5 (with or without using -noleaf option), while on RHEL4
the output differs.

Expected results:
The output of "find -noleaf" command should be the same with or without
using the -noleaf option -- i.e. RHEL-4 /proc filesystem should follow
the Unix filesystem conventions.
