There are several problems with the FS layer, but I'm more willing to bet you have a DOSFS filesystem mounted... news.cdrom.com (which used to run some mutant system about 2.0.5 time) had a 9 Gb FS which the then admin didn't think to take out of the security scans... so the news filesystem had expire AND a find running on it at the same time.
