This problem is fixed in the CVS code for findutils.
To resolve your problem, you could either wait for the
next official release of findutils, or check out a copy
of the code from the CVS repository for findutils.

check_nofollow() uses locale-dependant function atof(3) to calculate kernel version number.
Various locales have various decimal points, so check_nofollow() may fail to calculate correct kernel version number.
For example, ru_RU.* locales use "," as decimal point.
As result, O_NOFOLLOW gets disabled e.g. on GNU/Linux when used with these locales.

This could be fixed either by moving check_nofollow() call before setlocale(3) call, or by changing kernel version parser to avoid locale dependency.
