Here I am, already terrified of using find, and you tell me this! :-)

Thanks, but I don't think I'll study that one too closely just yet :-)
My vi doesn't work either (not that it worries me!) and the error message
looks vaguely similar. I wonder if others have had this solved in
freebsd-questions in the past? A quick search of the freebsd-questions
mailing list archive on http://www.freebsd.org/search.html will probably
bring it up.
In fact, I'd be interested to hear how you go with the search. Some people
have had trouble with it, while others swear by it.
