find: stat() failed: /usr/adm - no such file or directory

[Heiko Blume]

well, i have this *really* *very* *weird* problem with ISC 2.2:
when i do a 'find /usr -name bla' as *root* i get

find: stat() failed: /usr/admin/cops/user.chk: No such file or directory
find: stat() failed: /usr/admin/dead.letter: No such file or directory
find: stat() failed: /usr/mail: No such file or directory
[.......]
find: stat() failed: /usr/guest: No such file or directory
find: stat() failed: /usr/chris: No such file or directory

for all directories in /usr, but *not* for all *files* below /usr.
in fact the first two *files* (as opposed to directories) are the
only files find doesn't like.
of course all these do exist and can be cd'd to, read, whatever.
my system work just perfectly, without any trouble whatsoever.
the *real* fun is: this only occurs when i'm logged in as root!
when i'm any other user i *DON'T* get these messages !!!!
btw: i didn't change /etc/profile and it happens in sh as well as in csh.
it also happens when is su(1) from any user to do the find.
i should note that /usr is a mount point. i tried the find on other
mount points without problems. 
anyone ever seen this ???
