The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted to comp.unix.shell as well.

If I do cat a/b/c/file, the access time of a, b, c are not changed, as
seen with stat(1). OK, as others mentioned, that is for efficiency,
etc.  Then why are they changed with find(1), as can be seen with
find a -amin -1, at least here on GNU/Linux?
