Well, I think I know why find hung at /Mail and /.elm... it's because these
directories were made with my 1.1 compiled version of elm. Hence, It "made"
sysV-type files (does this make sense??).

Anyway, I deleted these dir's and then recreated them (mkdir) and all was
fine... until find hit /root. Once again, got a "find: bad directory tree"
error... just deleted /root and things look OK.

Anybody else have this happen? Try it and let me see! (regular user... for
some reason, root was immune though BOTH were using ksh)
