Using "-path '*/.*' -prune" prunes too many files from find output when files 
to prune actually exists.

Problem occurs in both version 4.3.0 + 4.3.1 of find.
Problem does *not* occur in version 4.2.27.

Is this problem related to the following bug?

        http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2006-07/msg00890.html

        Subject: find version 4.3.0, -path someNonDir -prune

Thanks for any help!

TO REPRODUCE:
-------------

Run commands

1.      mkdir -p d/d2

2.      touch d/d2/f

3.      find d -path '*/.*' -prune -o -print

        Result:
        -------
        d
        d/d2
        d/d2/f

4.      touch d/.x

5.      find d -path '*/.*' -prune -o -print

        Result:
        -------
        d
        d/d2

        Expected:
        ---------
        d
        d/d2
        d/d2/f

        i.e., d/d2/f is unexpectedly dropped
