Stupid webmail interface. Why can't it wrap lines, so they don't get truncated at 1000 characters en route, per the RFCs?

when the return value is non-NULL.  So, either cygwin's /proc filesystem is 
falling afoul of POSIX requirements on readdir(), or find is non-portable and is 
wrongly assuming that an errno changed to EISDIR even on a non-NULL return from 
readdir() means an error occurred.  I still don't know if the error is in 
find(1) or in cygwin1.dll, but don't have time to research further at the 
moment.
