Subject: bug#17035: [PATCH] chmod -c -R produces errors with special permissions
Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2014 12:06:31 -0400

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
chmod sometimes tries to stat files in the wrong directory when reporting
changes:

> mkdir -p a/b
> chmod -R g+s a/b # requires some special permission bit set first
> chmod -c -R g+w a
chmod: getting new attributes of 'b': No such file or directory

A fix is attached.
