Eric? Can you have a look here, please? This is weird.
I checked the strace, and after ascending back from the ATI subdir into
the toplevel dir successfully, find appears to exit "just so", without
any trace that it even *tries* to continue to scan further subdirs. And
unfortunately there's no way to see why find thinks there's nothing to
do anymore.
Is there a way to debug find to find out why it exits?

That's, at least, good news.
Hmm, digging through Cygwin's readdir code, I have a vague idea.
Eric, does find honor the struct dirent d_type flag? I'm wondering
if d_type is erroneously set to DT_REG for some reason. If so, we
could find this out by augmenting the debug output in the Cygwin DLL.
