This is already a known problem, and another already known solution is to
use a recent cygwin snapshot.  In fact, if you were to use 4.3.0's
oldfind, it would have the same problem as 4.2.27's find.

The only reason I have not made 4.3.0 the current version is because it is
alpha quality upstream, and 4.2.27 depends on cygwin 1.5.19; making 4.3.0
current would leave no fallback for users trying to revert to cygwin
1.5.18.  But as soon as cygwin 1.5.20 comes out (whenever that might be),
my story will change, since I will no longer have to worry about 1.5.18
compatibility.
