[Findutils-patches] [bug #37683] -inum doesn't work on ext4 file systems with find 4.5.10

[please CC me, as I'm not subscribed]

I'm not sure to which list I should send this patch, so I reply
both to Philipp's message on bug-findutils and on patches.
Sorry. ;-)

OpenSuSE-12.2 is still using --without-fts, so the default find
program doesn't work with -inum there.

BTW: Why is the latest version on ftp.gnu.org still 4.4.2
(3.5 years old) while distros already use newer versions?

Have a nice day,
Berny

Subject: [PATCH] Fix -inum option in non-FTS find

The call 'find . -inum N' did not work because the stat buffer
in process_path is unitialized. As a result, get_info() did
not set todo = true and failed to get the stat info for the
current pathname. The subsequent comparison in pred_inum therefore
used a random value on the stack to compare with.

* find/find.c (process_path): Initialize stat_buf.
