_______________________________________________________
Details:
Command line:
$ find . -xdev -mmin -5
Running the above command modifies the access time of all subdirectories under
current directory to current timestamp.
This looks like a bug to me since I do not expect 'find' to modify filesystem
as it is a utility to, you know, find files.
If this is not a bug please explain this behaviour, may be put an explanation
on the site or manual page.
