Follow-up Comment #4, bug #62255 (project findutils):
Hi: I was having the same problem, started debugging and then realized that it
is just a matter of wildcard expansion within bash.
Meaning, if e.g. I have a file called 'compactfile.txt' and
'Compactfile2.file', and I do 'find -iname compact*', bash will expand
'compact*' to 'compactfile.txt' so the search will be _very_ different to what
you expect.
If you just put the search item within quotes or double quotes, it works.
