Every night at 2 AM, I run /usr/lib/find/updatedb to update the fast
find database (/etc/find.codes in 3.0).  However, to my great dismay,
it seems that using fast find (i.e. "find filename") doesn't work
anymore.  No matter what filename I enter on the command line, find
produces no output.  I checked that /etc/find.codes was world readable
(it was) and that it was non-empty (it was; ls reported its size as
~200K).  Frustrated, I su'd to root, mv'd /etc/find.codes to
/etc/find.codes.old, cd'd to /, and ran /usr/lib/find/updatedb.
After some 15 minutes, updatedb completed and there was a nice new
/etc/find.codes, also ~200K.  BUT fast find still wouldn't work.

ARGH!

Does anyone else have this problem?
