It's happened to me before (under hamm, but not slink) and it was find
running.
I don't why it ran find but it was a pain in the ass.
I haven't had the problem for a while.
May be there's some process running that lokks for something in a default
loctaion and then if it can't get it there forks a find to try to locate it.
I suspected TkDesk when this happened to me, but that could have been
unfounded.
caveat: this may have nothing to do with the problem you have!

It sounds like a 'cron' job was running.
