My SWAG on this is that the find traverses one of several places where a mount point like ''mount -f -s -b "F:/Cygwin/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts" "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts"'' then finds that the "parent" of the current directory is not where it came from , and it is unable to pop its way back up the tree. I rather doubt this is the Posix behavior. -- David A.
