Details:

This is for findutils-4.5.12 from OpenSuSE "Leap" 42.1.  When I do:
find /etc/acpi /nonexistent -print > /tmp/find.out 2>&1
cat -v /tmp/find.out
It prints the filenames in the existing directory, plus on 
stderr it prints 
find: address@hidden/address@hidden: No such file or directory
When output is sent direct to the terminal we do not see 
^@ ^X or ^Y but very likely they are being written.  "cat -v" 
is needed to show the incorrect output consistently.  Any
existing directory can be used to demonstrate the bug.
