I haven't looked closely, but my guess is that this file is for the find
processes descriptor used to read the directory, and find's code to traverse
a directory is sufficiently fast that a process switch rarely if ever occurs
in between when a directory is read and the files inside it are checked.
Therefore, only the proc entry for the find process itself is vulnerable.
In any event, this behavior is certainly not unreasonable.
