Genuine bug?

No, a feature. Having the existing drives show up under '/cygdrive' is a convenience for things like bash and other shells so that they can do completion on the paths to these drives. If you don't want what's under the '/cygdrive' directory, you can omit
it from your invocation of 'find'.


Respectfully, I think you've misunderstood my problem. I've just
posted a followup which will show an out and out inconsistency (well,
at least in my opinion):

sha...@x-vista ~
$ ls /cygdrive/c/software/cygwin/cygdrive

sha...@x-vista ~
$ cd /cygdrive/c/software/cygwin/

sha...@x-vista /cygdrive/c/software/cygwin
$ ls ./cygdrive
c  d  e

sha...@x-vista /cygdrive/c/software/cygwin
$

IMO, the result of the first ls is the more logical. It at least is
consistent with 1.5 if anything else (not that this is a strong
argument).

Regards,
Shaddy
