Details:

-mtime +n behaves different in 4.2.x than in 4.3.7. The older version
interprets -n as lower than, 4.3.7 as lower or equal:


(SID)address@hidden:/tmp/findtest$ ls -l ; date
total 0
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ametzler ametzler 0 Jun  3 22:00 2007-06-04
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ametzler ametzler 0 Jun  4 22:00 2007-06-05
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ametzler ametzler 0 Jun  5 22:00 2007-06-06
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ametzler ametzler 0 Jun  6 22:00 2007-06-07
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ametzler ametzler 0 Jun  7 22:00 2007-06-08
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ametzler ametzler 0 Jun  8 22:00 2007-06-09
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ametzler ametzler 0 Jun  9 22:00 2007-06-10
Sun Jun 10 08:24:32 GMT 2007

Now 4.2.30:
(SID)address@hidden:/tmp/findtest$ find --version
GNU find version 4.2.31
Built using GNU gnulib version 2007-02-24
(SID)address@hidden:/tmp/findtest$ find -mtime +2
./2007-06-07
./2007-06-05
./2007-06-04
./2007-06-06
(SID)address@hidden:/tmp/findtest$ find -mtime -2
.
./2007-06-10
./2007-06-09
(SID)address@hidden:/tmp/findtest$ find -mtime 2
./2007-06-08

OTOH 4.3.7:
(SID)address@hidden:/tmp/findtest$ /tmp/FIND/findutils-4.3.7/find/find
--version
GNU find version 4.3.7
Built using GNU gnulib version 2007-05-26
Features enabled: D_TYPE O_NOFOLLOW(enabled) LEAF_OPTIMISATION FTS()
CBO(level=0)
(SID)address@hidden:/tmp/findtest$ /tmp/FIND/findutils-4.3.7/find/find
-mtime +2
./2007-06-07
./2007-06-05
./2007-06-04
./2007-06-06
(SID)address@hidden:/tmp/findtest$ /tmp/FIND/findutils-4.3.7/find/find
-mtime -2
.
./2007-06-10
./2007-06-09
./2007-06-08
(SID)address@hidden:/tmp/findtest$ /tmp/FIND/findutils-4.3.7/find/find
-mtime 2
./2007-06-08

Note how ./2007-06-08 is listed in 4.3.7's output.
