Problem with mput * on Tru64 ?

I know what causes the problem, client.c uses a find command with a
maxdepth parameter which is not understood by Tru64 (or Sco) and causes
the error message. A temporary fix is to turn on recursive mode, in our
situation we know that the wildcard files we are putting don't exist
below the current directory so we can get away with it.

Thanks also to Mohamed kalai for forwarding a modified client.c that
fixes the mput bug. But, does anyone know when the master release will
be modified with this bug fix in place?

I've also checked back to 2.0.5a client.c and the ls command was used
instead of the problematic find -maxdepth. Why was it changed?
