Greetings to your father from a European with O- blood, fair freckled skin, and a receded chin! I've always been fascinated with Neanderthals. Happy to see science slowly realising these were not some stupid brutes...

Systems with a non-GNU find, including the default one in Solaris 10 (I've just double-checked). Perhaps you were using the GNU find in Solaris?
