Update

Someone must have "fixed" the old and trusted find command
With version 4.9.0, found in @radky 's BW64, the trick to find file names with incorrect UTF-8 encoding doesn't work anymore.

#!/bin/bash
mkdir /tmp/testfiles 2>/dev/null
/tmp/testfiles/$'Malm\xf6'  #Malmö invalid UTF-8
/tmp/testfiles/$'Malm\xf8'  #Malmø invalid UTF-8
/tmp/testfiles/$'\x80uro'   #€uro  invalid UTF-8

FOUND=$(find /tmp/ -not -name "*")
Xdialog -left -back "Invalid UTF-8 filenames:" -msg "$FOUND" 200x200

Version 4.7.0 in @rockedge 's F96-CE still works fine. However using F96-CE's version in BW64 does not work ... and this may be an indication that find is not the culprit. I suspect that in BW64 other changes have been made, because also ROX-Filer interprets '*' names differently.

[EDIT] The problem concerning BW64 was discussed in viewtopic.php?p=102155#p102155 where @Burunduk posted a smart workaround.
