Indeed I read this last night, and it explains it quite well. It even
points out that -exec rm {} has the very same problem (which is really
quite obvious), but limiting the search depth to 1 should close that
hole AFAICS. Using the -delete action is an interesting option, but
this is again BSD find specific.
