Nesting of folders has exceeded the recommended limit of 100

Nesting of folders has exceeded the recommended limit of 100:
If Disk Utility reports Nesting of folders has exceeded the recommended limit of 100, you can find the offending folders by opening a Terminal window and typing
sudo find / -maxdepth 100 -mindepth 100
The last few times I had people report this error to me, they turned out to have an old version of Vapor on their machine.”
Good to have this little snip in my pocket

Gee, thanks for the tip. You site was the first given by Google for the ‘nesting of folders has exceeded’. The problem was a .txt file in the trash what became a folder somehow including itself an uncountable times.
