I saw the same failure after removing this. Also, I scratch installed Windows 2000, and redid the Cygwin install from scratch (nothing but setup.exe). Its apparent that directory entries relative to my HOME directory are corrupt: [kirke@BAG .backup]$ ls -l big* ls: big-2002-0228-1555: No such file or directory -rw-r--r-- 1 kirke Administ 547 Nov 9 2000 big-2001-0108-1137 -rw-r--r-- 1 kirke Administ 568 Jan 16 2001 big-2002-0212-1443 -rw-r--r-- 1 kirke Administ 532 Nov 1 2000 bigd-2001-0108-1137 -rw-r--r-- 1 kirke Administ 529 Jan 16 2001 bigd-2002-0212-1443 [kirke@BAG .backup]$ pwd /cygdrive/z/private/kirke/scripts/.backup This directory lives on a server managed by our IS group. I've requested they do a 'chkdsk /f' to clean up. I guess find is leaking descriptors when it encounters bad directory entries. kirk -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
