Ok, from the REALLY BASIC QUESTION department, why does find fail with 
"find . changed during execution of find" when I search from the root? This 
is a Suse 9.2 installation on a PIII with 640mb of RAM. Really. It boots 
from a small IDE drive where most of Linux is but there's also two 
different raid arrays attached, one SATA on a 3Ware card, one SCSI.

Example:

# find / -name smb.conf
[finds some files and reports them
find: . changed during execution of find

#

Often I get no results from the find before it returns that error, although 
this example does return 4 results. What should I be doing instead?
