The thread is only about two days old.

I can guess that much.

I'm not fixing anything for *Find* buffers, as Luc says, I'm proposing to
revert your change.  However, _after_ your change dired-internal-do-deletions
was changed to use dired-buffers through dired-fun-in-all-buffers (so that
all dired buffers got updated).  This change was also made by you, but four
years later (14-Mar-02).

I think my change won't make things worse, probably better.  If it's wrong,
and people are using it, that presumably should get picked up in the pretest.

Shall I install my patch?
