  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.
