Bug in find command - tru64 v5.1a???

We use a find command in an automated process to delete files.

find . -atime +7 -exec rm -ef {} ;\

The command has worked perfectly for several months. However, last night it
deleted 6 files that were in the process of being written.

Is this correct behaviour?

Thanks
Frank
