when there are a lot of directories in /var, a part of daily cron script, 450.status-security executes find command, which after 10 minutes freezes the system.

try to "make" lot of files and directories in partition and to cron status-security.

 First, lets narrow this down. Could you comment out everything from
 the line,
 
   echo 'Checking setuid files and devices:'
 
 To,
 
   # Show changes in the way filesystems are mounted
 
 Then run the security check. Does it work now?
 
 Just how many directories are in /var? Could you give us some more
 hints on how to reproduce the problem?
