There is an option to add '-xdev' to find which should prevent find to
descend into other filesystems. Default of "Descend directories on
other filesystem (don't add -xdev to find)" is at the moment "yes".

It it possible that you test again (against the host with that VERY large 
filesystem)
with the updated version_func.inc and/or with "Descend directories on other
filesystem (don't add -xdev to find)" set to "no"?

I'm thinking about changing the default of "Descend directories on..."
to "no".
