This happened using mtime and atime. I list everything older than X
days, then rm them, then use the same list command again, except that
now all the remaing files list? Solaris 5.8.
This does not happen with -exec but -exec is slower, and it doesn't
happen with {} \; - see below. Anyone have any tips?
