[bug #14748] find -perm /zzz gives wrong result when zzz evaluates to an all-zero mask

[James Youngman]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #14748 (project findutils):

Looking at this again, I'm not completely convinced.  If no bits are set in
the specified mask, none of the bits set in the mask can be set in the file's
mode (since there are no set bits).  Hence one could argue that "-perm /000"
should never match any files, in other words that the current behaviour is
correct. Thoughts?
