Apparently there's a point where internally allocated space gets overwritten while recursively calling readdir. Due to the huge number of files it's not easy to catch the place where this happens. OTOH this does not occur when recursively calling readdir using ls(1) which allows the assumption that it's find, not Cygwin, which overwrites the memory. Where's the difference between find and ls when recursing through directories? Eric, do you see a chance to find time to debug this?
