This is a user problem, not a bug.  You were poking through
parts of the namespace such as /proc and /sys and /dev where
random poking can cause errors.

Normally its no more harmful than wiping your keyboard -
a string of garbage characters and an error message which
can be ignored.  On the other hand, you might accidently
type something critical (like a few up arrows and an enter)
so it's really not recommended.

It's safest to search individual subtrees such as /bin,
/boot, /etc/, /lib, and /usr but there are quite a few of
them.  An alternative is to search everywhere and -prune the
places which are inappropriate to your search, which might
include /dev, /proc, and /sys.  If you take this "opt-out"
approach you have to remember to update your scripts when
a new magic directory appears.
