Summary:                    -executable option not working
Description: 
The "-executable" option is meant to select executable files and searchable
directories.
The option does not work with
4.4.2,REV=2009.06.08
as expected.
I cross-checked the results I hoped for under my Linux installation.

The man page says that the difference between -perm and -executable is
that the latter takes more complex things into account like acls.
So the option would be useful but does not work as expected.

Does that help?
