You are not the first to report something like this, but I have not been able to reproduce it myself, with either 4.2.27 or 4.3.0 (note that find uses a different search algorithm in 4.3.0, but the old 4.2.7 algorithm is still available in the program oldfind in 4.3.0, so really you only need 4.3.0 to test both behaviors). I suspect a remote drive bug, rather than versioning issues, but I'll need more details. First, you should follow the reporting guidelines here: > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html and include the output of 'cygcheck -svr' as a text attachment. Then, what directory were you in when you ran find? Is it a remote drive? Is it running Samba? If so, what version of Samba? There are known issues with cygwin 1.5.19 when communicating with certain remote drives, where the inode numbers of various files are not constant, and the result is that find refuses to proceed since it interprets a changing inode as a security attack (someone replacing the directory in parallel with you trying to search it). Some of these issues have been fixed in CVS; could you please try the latest snapshot and see if the issue still persists? http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.setup.snapshots - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
