Dell Latitude XPi90
FreeBSD 2.1.0r
16 MB Ram/60 MB swap
Hard Drive: IBM-DPRA-21215 1160MB

                  ~400MB of Windoze 95 on first partition
                  60MB of swap on third
                  Balance on second (Freebsd).

Twice this has happend after executing a find. I run find and it
corrupts the file system where it looks. My last one was a find
off root. Practically the entire file system was trashed.

I had the system *just right* too.. damn damn damn. Does anyone know
how to prevent this from happening again or what caused it? I *need*
unix on this.
