Details:

`find` will abort if it comes across a file with mode 0000 giving an
assertion error:
    find: pred.c:1329: pred_type: Assertion `state.type != 0' failed.

It gives no indication of what file it was up to at the time. Ideally it
would print a warning to stderr and keep on going, rather than abort. This
happens when using the type predicate.

At the very least a more verbose error would be nice.
