Subject: 1.5.12:  find with -iregex is case-sensitive
Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2005 21:43:38 +0000
Message-Id: <011820052143.1441.41ED830A000072E6000005A1220075078404040A9C9C9A9D9902080106@comcast.net>

Even with the -iregex option, the find command performs case-sensitive
matching. 

Test procedure:

$ mkdir test
$ touch test/file-a
$ touch test/File-b
$ find test | grep -i ".*file.*"
test/file-a
test/File-b

$ find test -iregex ".*file.*"
test/file-a

$ find test -iregex ".*File.*"
test/File-b

I'm using Cygwin 1.5.12-1 under Windows XP Professional Ver 5.1 Build 2600
Service Pack 1, findutils 20041227-1.
