Hi jlliarge. I cited Sunos 4.1.1 based on a comment I made in an old script, though I no longer have a copy of the O/S. This is not the only time I have come across the problem.
The wikipedia section on "find" mentions "In some shells, the {} must be quoted". I can't argue with that.
find - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The wiki looks pretty accurate bar not mentioning differences between "/pathname" and "/pathname/" in some unixes.
In this comprehensive GNU-based generic man page for find(1) it specifically states to quote '{}' . It also warns about security hole in the POSIX implementation of "find ... -exec" which I did not know about.
http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?find
This independent researcher has gone to town on checking what works in various versions of find. See under "Embedded {}". He describes some quite radical different behaviours of {} which does support my case.

bb-findhost.cgi
BB-FINDHOST.CGI(1) General Commands Manual BB-FINDHOST.CGI(1)
NAME
bb-findhost.cgi - Xymon CGI script to find hosts
SYNOPSIS
bb-findhost.cgi?host=REGEX
DESCRIPTION
bb-findhost.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the bb-findhost.sh CGI wrapper.
bb-findhost.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with the "host=REGEX" parameter. The REGEX is a Posix regular expression (see
regex(7) ) describing the hostnames to look for. A trailing wildcard is assumed on all hostnames - e.g. requesting the hostname "www" will
match any host whose name begins with "www".
It then produces a single web page, listing all of the hosts that matched any of the hostnames, with links to the Xymon webpages where they
are located.
The output page lists hosts in the order they appear in the bb-hosts(5) file.
A sample web page implementing the search facility is included with bbgen, you access it via the URL /bb/help/bb-findhost.html.
OPTIONS
--env=FILENAME
Loads the environment from FILENAME before executing the CGI.
FILES
$BBHOME/web/findhost_header
HTML header file for the generated web page
$BBHOME/web/findhost_footer
HTML footer file for the generated web page
$BBHOME/web/findhost_form
Query form displayed when bb-findhost.cgi is called with no parameters.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
BBHOSTS
bb-findhost.cgi uses the BBHOSTS environment variable to find the bb-hosts file listing all known hosts and their page locations.
BBHOME Used to locate the template files for the generated web pages.
