I still see hangs in find 4.2.18, despite the

ChangeLog entry that suggests this has been fixed.



Even find --version hangs with this stacktrace



(dbx) where

[1] _lstat64(0x4, 0xffbff160, 0x1, 0xfeabbe60, 0x81010100, 0xff00), at
0xfeb1abac

=>[2] optionp_stat(name = 0x7a548 "/java/tl", p = 0xffbff160), line 229 in
"find.c"

[3] set_fstype_devno(p = 0x79b58), line 182 in "fstype.c"

[4] get_mounted_devices(n = 0x71114), line 278 in "fstype.c"

[5] init_mounted_dev_list(), line 668 in "find.c"

[6] main(argc = 2, argv = 0xffbff3c4), line 448 in "find.c"



where /java/tl is the remotely mounted filesystem that

is "down" during command execution.



This is pretty serious. In a large networked environment,

there is always some NFS server that is broken or very slow

at the moment.



The --version flag at the very least should be handled

before trying to "do" any real work.
