    _______________________________________________________

Details:

In main(), init_mounted_dev_list() is called unconditionally.  This results
in all mount-points getting lstat() called on them.



This happens when no options are given.



If one of the mount-points is a hard NFS mount, and the remote machine is
down, find will never complete even though it should be able to without
problems.
