No, you absolutely shouldn't say it "crashes", because it does not "crash". Misdescribing a bug is the slowest imaginable way of getting it fixed! Particularly so in this case, because I don't see why find *shouldn't* return an exit code of 1 when it's had all those errors. Have you read "man find"? EXIT STATUS find exits with status 0 if all files are processed successfully, greater than 0 if errors occur. Presumably the reason that this behaviour is new is that there used to be a bug that stopped it even attempting to recurse those dirs, because nothing with '*' in it could ever be a valid filename. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
