Well, I'd suspect it in "D" state - waiting for some disk I/O to
finish...

But in "R" with your described behavior looks like a bug.
If you care about the CPU time waisted: what about kill -STOP <pid>?

Can you describe your filesystem layout?
I think of a symlink recursion bug or something wrong in /dev/shm
or alike... (no flame, just guessing :)

What are the parameters of "find"?
