On a machine (sles9) with postfix installed, and a file called sendmail in the /usr/sbin directory, when I do a find as so:

This line is your problem. You have some directory being automounted, probably /media/cdrom or something similar, using subfs. find doesn't like this at all. When it enters the automounted directory, the system mounts it, and the contents changes from under find's feet, and it assumes something broke and it stops searching. In your 'php' example, it is in /home, and I suspect the reason it is found is that /home is searched before the automounted directory. If you disable the automounting, find should start working normally again Anders
