I've been having problems with "find", and it's hard to search the entire
mailing list for "find" since it's such a common word.  I don't know what
cygwin package "find" comes in, so I can't search for that.  I don't know
if this problem is known or not.  Please forgive me if I'm lost, but a
little advice could help.

I discovered I was having problems with "find" maybe a month ago.  I tried
upgrading packages, but I still had the problem.  Here's a sample of what
I'm trying to do.

I merely wanted "find" to give me a list of files.  I have cut out long
lists of files, choosing only to include the first and last file in any
long lists, with and ellipsis in its place.

**

You'll notice that it showed a directory named 90s/no and a directory
named 70s with no files in them.

**
$ find //192.168.200.9/public/music\ videos/ -type d

//192.168.200.9/public/music videos/
//192.168.200.9/public/music videos/poor quality
//192.168.200.9/public/music videos/modern

//192.168.200.9/public/music videos/90s/no
//192.168.200.9/public/music videos/70s
**

If I specifically "ls" the directories, I see hundreds of files.

**
$ ls //192.168.200.9/public/music\ videos/90s/no/
2 Unlimited - Tribal Dance (intro).mpg
(...)

$ ls //192.168.200.9/public/music\ videos/70s

10cc - Things We Do For Love.mpg

So find is aborting during a search and giving no errors.  I thought this
might be a random occurence but I discovered it again today.  The version
is

GNU find version 4.2.27
Features enabled: LEAF_OPTIMISATION

If I try the same command from my Fedora 5 box, it complains that
//192.168.200.9/public isn't a valid directory.  If I mount the network
drive, and perform the find, it finds all the videos fine.

If I mount the network on my windows XP machine, and use the cygwin find
on the mounted drive, it has the same problem.

Anyone else discovered this?
