The man page has this at the top of the TESTS section:

       Numeric arguments can be specified as

       +n     for greater than n,

       -n     for less than n,

       n      for exactly n.

The bug in find appears to be specific to using "-1x" (where "x" is k,
M, or G); only files of size 0 are found.  Using "-2x" gives the
expected output.
