I'm having some trouble with find.exe v4.1 that doesn't seem to have been
mentioned in either the FAQ or the archive for this group. The problem is
that find.exe is truncating its search whenever it finds a directory with
the same name as its parent, like so:

1> mkdir test\foo\foo
2> cd test
3> touch foo\foo\xyz
4> find
