Follow-up Comment #1:
The patch I have actually applied is attached (I don't think 'writable' is a
spelling error).
This problem is fixed in the CVS code for findutils.
To resolve your problem, you could either wait for the
next official release of findutils, or check out a copy
of the code from the CVS repository for findutils.

Did you mean:
1) I don't think 'writable' is a spelling error
2) I don't think 'writeable' is a spelling error
Cause you wrote #1, but judging from context probably meant #2.
In any case "writEable" is an error:
% echo writable | ispell -l -d american | ispell -l -d british ;echo
$?
0 # no output, it's correct.
% echo writeable | ispell -l -d american | ispell -l -d british ;echo
$?
writeable # not in dictionaries.
0
And 'find' in 'findutils' v4.2.20-2 has:
% man find | grep -n writeable
981: Search for files which are writeable by somebody (their
owner, or their
991: symbolic form. These commands all search for files which
are writeable
993: writeable by both the owner and group to be matched; either
will do.
1000: writeable by both their owner and their group.
Unfortunately it seems the modified patch here:
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/download.php?item_id=13363&item_file_id=2591
Omits my four corrections of 'writEable'. :'(
If doubt remains, see also this search for 'writable':
http://www.onelook.com/?w=writable&ls=a
...which returns:
We found 7 dictionaries with English definitions that include the word
writable:
General dictionaries General (7 matching dictionaries)
1. writable : Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary, 10th Edition
[home, info]
2. writable : The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English
Language [home, info]
3. writable : Dictionary.com [home, info]
4. writable : UltraLingua English Dictionary [home, info]

6. writable : Webster's Revised Unabridged, 1913 Edition [home,

7. Writable : AllWords.com Multi-Lingual Dictionary [home, info]
Apologies if that seems like overkill; but it seems safer to err on the
side of caution. Thanks for maintaining these packagages and checking
the other typos -- especially since I have reported one or two bad ones
before. HTH...

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #13363 (project findutils):
I had the sense of your changes for "writable" mentally reversed - that is, I
thought you were 'correcting' in the wrong direction.
This is now fixed in the development code.
