Summary:  '-ctime +1' produces output that would be correct for '-ctime +2'

Original Submission:  This is Debian Bug #278842, reported by Zed Pobre
<http://bugs.debian.org/278842>:

------------------------
Package: findutils
Version: 4.1.20-4
Severity: normal

Using -ctime +1 and -cmin +1440 should produce identical behaviour,
unless I completely misread the manpage, but this isn't actually the
case.  Using -ctime +1 appears to be identical to -cmin +2880, or
greater than two days old, not one.  Using -ctime +0 appears to be
identical to -cmin +1440.

erdos:/tmp> find . -maxdepth 1 -ctime +0 | wc -l
139
erdos:/tmp> find . -maxdepth 1 -ctime +1 | wc -l
97
erdos:/tmp> find . -maxdepth 1 -cmin +0 | wc -l
457
erdos:/tmp> find . -maxdepth 1 -cmin +1440 | wc -l
139
erdos:/tmp> find . -maxdepth 1 -cmin +2880 | wc -l
97
-----------------

I've tested against latest CVS code (2004-11-06T12:44:58+0100) and the behavior 
is identical to 4.1.20, afaict "find -Xtime +Y" is broken (X in c, m, a), it  
really is off by one.
         thanks, cu andreas
