Apparently, find have a problem with fast computers and the -newer
option.
-newer fichier
Fichier modifié plus récemment que le fichier
indiqué. L'option -newer n'est affectée par
l'option -follow que si celle-ci la précède sur la
ligne de commande.
I have a little program written in shell that use find to remove
outdated file.
I begin by creating a tmp file.
It touch/create all normal files that are up-to-date
It test files that are not -newer (! -newer) than tmp file and remove
them.
See the debug output. With the same information (so files that are
up-to-date are the same), sometimes somes files are picked (called
ORPHANS) as outdated, sometimes not (in fact they are not).

The computer is a Pentium IV 2.00GHz with 1 Giga Bytes RAM.
Someone else related a similar problem with another fast computer. I
noticed nothing on computer =< Pentium II 350 MHz.
Is it normal, Am I forgetting something?
In the meantime, doing a little `sleep` just after the creation of the
tmp test file should help, I think.
