Further tests reveal the following:

The fault occurs if I run find as root, in root.

If I'm not root, or not in root, it will work.

If I'm root, in root, and I use the -mount option, it
will not fail.

It almost appears that find is building a list, and
with all the mounted volumes (which he sees as root in
root), he overflows his space.

Is that likely?
