[I'm using the gnuwin32 b18 tools]

`find' doesn't seem to always search *all* subdirectories.

[/javasrc/src/share/sun] find . -name 'AppletViewer.java' -print
../sun/applet/AppletViewer.java
[/javasrc/src/share/sun]

Now go up a directory, and find fails to find the file! :

[/javasrc/src/share/sun] cd ..
[/javasrc/src/share] find . -name 'AppletViewer.java' -print
[/javasrc/src/share]


Does anyone know of a fix for this?  If `find' isn't unreliable, it's really
not usable at all.

Thanks,

    --- John
