find: . changed during execution of find

I am now getting this error message when i run find. I have searched quite a bit for soemone who has an answer, but none seem to fit my situation.

I just recently installed suse9.1 for more information.

"find: . changed during execution of find"

Could you post an example of the command that you use when you get this error message?

it happens with almost any long find but here is the one I tried

find / -name *clock

Hope that gives you ideas.

I looked in ps -A and there doesn't seem to be anything running that would write to the hard drive causing major changes.

"it happens with almost any long find but here is the one I tried

That is OK. Maybe there is something corrupt in the find command executable. Try reinstalling the findutils package and see if that clears the problem up.
