You aren't using findutils version 4.1.20, because that would say "4.1.20" in response to --version.   You must be using findutils 4.1.7 or earlier.   Findutils 4.1.7 was released on 2001-05-20.   That is, it is more than nine years old.

Please reproduce your problem with a release of findutils which is less than two years old, for example findutils-4.4.2.

Before I call a function I create a lock file for that function and inside the function I possibly create a tarball. In order to ensure the tarball is a new one and not a left over I check to ensure it's newer than the lock file. It doesn't seem to work consistently. I got around this problem by sleep'ing for 5 seconds and switching to
 newer from anewer. Was there a bug with this version of find ?

sleep 1 # to ensure there is atleast a difference of a second if the time comparisons are done in seconds instead of milliseconds or finer.
/opt/freeware/bin/find  . -name file.tar -anewer function_lock.txt


 locate --version
GNU locate version 4.1
AIX 5.3
