Can someone tell me how to get rid of the following problem?

when I do a 'find p* -mtime +1 -print'   in a directory with a large number of
files starting with 'p', I get find: too many arguments.

I can subdivide the list with smaller segments of the files I want to find,
but I would like another way around this if possible.  Can anyone point me
in the right direction?

Thnaks, Scott Musson
