You don't, by any chance, have "find" aliased, do you? You might also try "hash -t find" to see where it's picking it up, in case you've accidentally created a script that messes with the arguments. The "-print" option is only needed if some other option, such as "-ls" or "-exec", alters the default printing behavior. -- Michael A.
