Ouch!  Too much processor time is being wasted!

Try:

	find DIR -name 'filename' -print  

to get just the pathname, or:

	find DIR -name 'filename' -ls

To get a directory listing (is the -ls flag standard or just a 
SunOS'ism?).

Find is one of the most powerful Unix utilities, but has too many
command-line switches!  This causes it to be mis-used or never-used
by a lot of people who really need such a utility.
