Hi! I'm not quite sure if this is a Sun oddity or an AFS oddity or
what. The user doesn't think that it's related to any differences with
find on the Suns. He asked me to forward this report to the
developers, so here you go...

Question:
Any idea why this happens? Looking for files in my user directory always
ends with a weird error message.
mcrae% cd
mcrae% pwd
/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/p/e/petew
mcrae% time /bin/find . -name x -print
/bin/find: cannot open .: No such file or directory
0.62u 6.76s 1:53.68 6.4%
But anywhere on the non-AFS disks works as expected (no message at the end).
Even sitting in /tmp with absolute pathnames causes the same complaint.
mcrae% cd /tmp
mcrae% time /bin/find /afs/athena/user/p/e/petew -name x -print
/bin/find: cannot open /afs/athena/user/p/e/petew: No such file or directory 0.50u 6.34s 1:17.52 8.8%
Here's the OS info.
mcrae% uname -a
SunOS mcrae 5.1 100884-17 sun4m sparc
It seems to work in spite of the unnerving message, for example,
"find . -print > /dev/null" takes a while but still prints the same error.
I found an Athena Dec that works properly. Does this glitch affect
everybody on the Suns or just me?
