[bug #14619] find -perm +... broken in 4.2.25

[Andreas Metzler]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #14619 (project findutils):

Hello,
I've attached a minor documention update, giving a suggestion _why_ -perm -+x
works. I'd appreciate review.

Eric, find's -perm seems to ignore umask:

With umask 0022 the mode "+r" evaluates as 0220:
------------
address@hidden:/tmp$ LC_ALL=C chmod -v +w 0000
mode of `0000' changed to 0220 (-w--w----)
------------

however GNU find ignores umask and evaluates '+w' as '0222':
--------------
address@hidden:/tmp$ find findtest/ -perm +w -printf '%m\n'
222
--------------

Is this a bug?
