Well, the problem seems to have been due to low disk space. When I first
started experiencing this, I checked the utilization with df -k, and it
showed 126MB free (out of about 15GB on advfs). Should be plenty to do a
find command, i would think. Anyway, after I had I/O errors when copying a
file to the partition, I became suspect of the disk space. So, I removed a
few files so that I now have, according to df, 133MB free, and find now
works fine.
Morale: apparently, it takes at least 130MB free on a partition to use the
find command. :)
