Your suspects about pccard are right:

# find /proc/ >/dev/null
/tmp/findutils-4.2.23-5/findutils-4.2.23/find/find: WARNING: Hard link count 
(5) is wrong for /proc/bus: this may be a bug in your filesystem driver.  
Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option.  Earlier results may have 
failed to include directories that should have been searched.
# rmmod pcmcia
# find /proc/ >/dev/null
# modprobe pcmcia
# find /proc/ >/dev/null
