Hi again,

It has occurred to me that this wasn't the optimal example, as it does 
not eliminate a problem with the cd command. Take two is more revealing:

Shaddy AT x-vista ~
$ ls /cygdrive/c/software/cygwin/cygdrive

Shaddy AT x-vista ~
$

ie. no problem without the cd command. To eliminate bash builtin cd 
being a problem (not that it really would/should), here is some python:

Shaddy AT x-vista ~
$ python
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Dec  2 2008, 09:26:14)
[GCC 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import os
 >>> os.chdir('/cygdrive/c/software/cygwin')
 >>> os.listdir('./cygdrive')
['c', 'd', 'e']
 >>>

So what gives with the chdir implementation? Oh, and I originally ran 
into the problem trying to run du against the subdirs, not find. However 
the problem presents with find as well of course.

Regards,
Shaddy
