Description Martijn Dekker 2020-05-10 16:48:58 UTC 
BusyBox 'find' cannot combine '-exec ... {} +' with parenthesis arguments. This should work; it is perfectly valid to use it in more complex 'find' epxressions.

A simple test case:

$ find /dev/null \( -exec printf '%s\n' {} + \)
$ find /dev/null \( -exec printf '%s\n' {} \; \)
/dev/null

The first command prints nothing with Busybox 'find'; it should print '/dev/null' like the second.
