Fixed in CVS.

The find(1) manpage now documents that matching is performed with fnmatch(3) and braces are not special. The behaviour of the -name predicate does not depend on the value of the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable.

Please do not do this. It breaks SUSv3/POSIX compatibilty.

find should support shell-patterns and not bash-patterns.

------------------------
bash:$ ash
ash:$ echo {a,b,c}
{a,b,c}
