Find will always do this, if you "find /" when there are started
views. That's because /view/tmpa_bugfix3 contains everything in "/" ..
including /view/tmpa_bugfix3/view/gmpa_bugfix3!
The usual fix is to include "-local" in find's command list. Part of
ClearCase installation makes that change to some well-known built-in root
crontab entries. Figure out what job is producing this, and apply the same
fix.
Note that some UNIX variants have a nonstandard find flag ... I forget the
name ... "-xdev" maybe, or something like that. On these systems, "-local"
won't fix the problem for you, because it filters only what files match the
query, not which directories are searched. IRIX 5.X was one such platform,
I believe. Check your own personal "man find" carefully. There's usually
a "-mount" option, that won't cross any mount points, but this is probably
too big a hammer for your little nail. There's also often a "-fstype" or
similar, that can restrict the search to only file systems of one type;
this, too, might work to keep you from making the recursive descent.
