Can you get find-lisp-find-dired to work?

It requires dired: 
Symbol's value as variable is void: dired-buffers

doesn't like some input:
Find files in directory: ~/emacs/lisp/progmodes/
Matching regexp: gud.el

gives

Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil
(even if I've misunderstood the arguments it shouldn't give an error,
 gud\\.el gives an empty buffer)

and I can't get it to list any files in the buffer.
