You have uncovered a bug in Hwk1/fiend.  The correct
output is an error message (since opendir() fails on
/root) and a line containing /root.  That is, /bin/find
is correct.

I have released a new version of Hwk1/fiend (the old
version is now Hwk1/fiend.V0) that fixes this bug and
the earlier one involving a file named -.

Thanks for pointing this out.
