Any idea what it's all about?)

The -exec . . . {} + portion of the find command seems to have tripped over those results of yours (which add up to around 150 KB worth of pathnames to be processed. I'm not sure exactly where it breaks down (100K maybe?). The safe way to prepare for a really large results list is to first write the output from find into a temp file... and then read (and/or pipe) that temp file into whatever command -exec was calling.

I don't quite follow that; does it mean that there's more that wasn't listed?
