I see what's happening, the find command is getting the output of one
"ls" command at a time via the "-exec" action. the regular dired
doesn't have this problem, for it doesn't use that "one at a time"
method of listing the files, and, more importantly(I think) because
dired.el has a funtion called dired-align-file. This file might be
useful to both dired.el and find-dired.el.
