Problem with find in 5.0?

Someone let me know I'm not going crazy here!

If I try:
# find . -type d > dirlist
then the file dirlist gets created, but with 0 size. (the dirlist file
doesn't exist beforehand).
If I try:
# find . -type d >> dirlist
then the file dirlist gets created with all the directories it should
contain (again, the dirlist file didn't exist before)

I've tried several different combinations and permutations of find with both
> and >>, finding by type, name, whatever, and I get the same results. I've
searched the mailing list archive and not found this mentioned before (of
course, searching for the word 'find' does come up with many hits! :) I'm
on an Alpha workstation with Tru64 5.0, no patches.

Anyone else experienced this?
