Thanks Patrick.  That's interesting.  However, the exact motivation why
IO500 has the 'find' command is this same intended use case; stale results
therefore actually present an interesting dilemma to IO500.  They are not
POSIX compliant but that loss of compliance shouldn't necessarily
disqualify this result...
