Hello (again) all,

I think I've written about this before and not gotten an answer, but I 
could neither find it in a Google search, nor in my own archives - 
which, I should mention, were kinda destroyed two weeks ago :(

I have three GCC compiler sets on my system: DJGPP, Cygwin and MinGW32 - 
the latter of which doesn't include grep. When I use the DJGPP grep to 
search for 'foo' in all my projects under my home dir (from the Bash 
command line that comes with DJGPP) I get a nice listing:
-- BEGIN SNIPPET --
bash-2.04$ grep -rnHi foo *
(..) long, long list of stuff
--- END SNIPPET ---
Doing the same thing under Cygwin, I get this:
-- BEGIN SNIPPET --
Ronald Landheer@ALLY ~
$ grep -rnHi foo *
(..) local text files are searched (if any)
grep: <any dirname>: Permission denied
(..) normal response for Binary files
--- END SNIPPET ---
The versions are the newest available for either (2.4 for DJGPP, 2.4.2 
for Cygwin).

The question: what causes this and what did I do wrong?

Greetz!

Ronald
