Details:


http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=185202 reported that a
trailing ")" was sometimes not caught by find.  The Changelog says this bug
was fixed in March 2004, but it seems not to be the case:

$ find . \)
find: invalid expression
$ find . \(
find: invalid expression
$ find . -print \(
find: invalid expression
$ find . -print \)
...

This last one goes about as if nothing is wrong.

$ find --version
GNU find version 4.1.20
