Two problems with Cygwin and "updatedb":

1. "updatedb" terminates with
"/usr/bin/find: . changed during execution of /usr/bin/find".
This happens unless called with '--prunepaths="/cygdrive"' 
("/cygdrive" is a "real" directory).

2. I'm calling "updatedb" with
'--prunepaths="/cygdrive /cygdrive/c/CDROM /cygdrive/c/FLOPPY /cygdrive/c/DATA/cygwin /dev /proc"'
(DATA, FLOPPY and CDROM are mounted under Windows XP). 

Unfortunately "updatedb" omits certain directories (/cygdrive/c/DATA 
/cygdrive/c/DATA/VPOP3 /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS). So I have to say 
explicitly:
'--localpaths="/ /cygdrive/c /cygdrive/c/DATA /cygdrive/c/DATA/VPOP3 /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS"'

Does anyone know why "updatedb" doesn't like "/cygdrive" and why 
certain directories aren't searched?!
