As stated in the revised specification

  When fiend encounters an error, it writes a one-line message to stderr.  If
  the error is in a command-line argument (e.g., when stat() or lstat() fails
  on the argument to -newer, but not when a FILENAME does not exist), it exits|
  immediately; otherwise it continues execution (e.g., when opendir() fails it|
  moves to the next file).                                                    |

Not explicitly.
