What were you trying to do?

	OLC has this but has not responded in an hour.  Is `find`
        changed under Athena 9.0?  Many of my scripts are breaking in
        the following way, which I can reduce to/reproduce by, In my
        home dir, running the following:

          athena% find . -name \*~ -print
          find: cannot open .: Value too large for defined data type

What's wrong:

 	find, or its variant under tcsh, seems to choke on big
        subtrees.  It is fine in a trivially small directory:

	  athena% cd Tmp
	  athena% touch foo~
	  athena% find . -name \*~ -print
	  ./foo~

What should have happened:

	See above

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

	I see no knew man pages, release notes &c.
