find . -size +100000 doesn't seem to work

I have been trying to use find to locate files larger than a given size
in our /usr/spool/mail directory.  Running as root the following command
is issued:

	# find /usr/spool/mail -size +100000 -print

No output is generated.  Can someone give me a hint as to what is going
on?  The man page says that "+n" means "more than n".  Is this a bug in
the find program?

Thanks in advance.
