Programs using the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=fts&sektion=3&format=html">fts(3)</a> | |||
routines (such as rm, find, and most programs that take a <b>-R</b> | |||
flag) can be tricked into changing into the wrong directory if the | |||
parent dir is changed out from underneath it. This is similar to | |||
the old fts bug but happens when popping out of directories, as | |||
opposed to descending into them. | |||
