I would guess that your DOS box has a low DPMI memory setting. When
you set LFN=n, `find' gets shorter file names, and thus needs less
memory to store its data structures when it reads your disk.
Incidentally, I think `find' is a wrong tool for this job. If you
only need to list all the files on your disk, then the following is a
better way:
ls -liR .
