Subject: BUG? with Find when traversing a link or mount alias
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed

If I do $ find /usr -iname "something", after a bit of chewing on it I get
" find: ./.. changed during execution of find" and the command terminates.

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.
