Details:

findutils-4.5.4 in Gentoo in current state per submission date, with vanilla
kernel 2.6.28.7, has the following inexplicable behaviour:

1. Do emerge =findutils-4.5.4.

2. Create a new file.

3. Do find . ! -user myself

3. find prints that file, although ls -l clearly says it is owned by me. 
Also, it reports as not owned by me some seemingly random other preexisting
files.

Neither there are any inconsistencies in manipulating that file (i.e., I can
write to it or delete it), nor doing chown myself:myself that_file affects
subsequent find results. Reproducible on ext2, ext4 and XFS, on both i686 and
x86_64.

The previous version (findutils-4.5.3) works just fine.
