Closed as I believe this problem is already fixed and the person who raised the incident is not responding (i.e. is not claiming that the problem is not fixed).

It's a bug.

However, this bug was fixed in findutils 4.2.2, and so should not affect findutils-4.2.20, which is the version you say you have a problem with in your bug report. Are you seeing a platform-specific problem, or are you using a version of findutils which is older than 4.2.2?

$ for version in 4.1.20 4.2.1 4.2.2 4.2.3 4.2.20 ; do rm .p.; touch .p. ; echo $version ... ; /home/james/source/GNU/findutils/installed/bin/find-$version . -name '*.' ; done
4.1.20 ...
4.2.1 ...
4.2.2 ...

I confirm the bug, but there is a typo in original post.
Correct command is:
touch .p.; find . -name '*.'
^^^
The dot after find was missing in the original post.
Otherwise, the bug is reproducible.

I observed that
find -name '*.'
does not report names beginning with '.' and ending with '.'.

For example:
touch .p.; find -name '*.'
does not report '.p.'

Is this intentional, or a bug ?
