Hi: 

(tried posting this to the comp.windows.cygwin usenet
group and got no response, so....)

I've been doing "find | xargs grep" types of things
for a long time with no problem, but I just started
working at a new job with a new computer onto which
I've downloaded the latest Cygwin. 

I like grep & egrep & fgrep and so on just fine, but I
have some #!/bin/bash scripts of my own that add some
enhancements. So I use them in place of "grep". I've
done this in the past with no trouble, but on the new
box, I get the mess of errors listed at the end of
this post. I am actually getting some output from my
scripts as well, but I think xargs is starting
multiple processes and several of them are failing
while others do not. In some cases, the scripts do
nothing more than fill in some default parameters for
grep - the code is really innocent stuff. 

Any ideas why this started happening to me?
