I am using find on both Ultrix 2.3 and SunOS 4.0.1 on a 386i.  I have
a file whose ls -l date (documented as the modification time) is
April 1, 1989 at 9:09 am.  On my machine, it is after 10am on April 3.
I run find filename -mtime +1 -print.  My file's name does not appear.
I run find filename -mtime 1 -print.  My file's name DOES appear.

Note that it is more than 48 hours after the modification time.  Why does
find insist that the mtime is only 1 day old?
