Fwd: find and symlinks

[Judson Lester]

If I use `-type l` the output is like
/foo/bar/baz
/foo/bar/..data
on my laptop as well - I assume that on Kubernetes, "data" would be
expanded to a date again.

findutils find does not print the "/..data" entry; I can't find any reason
it would correctly be included.
