It sounds to me like the same problem as rm -r has in that GNU-Win32 determines if there are cycles in the file system judging by the names (and contents?) I bet that find is seeing these "cycles" and stopping. Can anyone verify this?

Hi,
I have the following problem with the version of find that
ships with B19.1. If I create a directory called
/00/00/00/00/00 and then run find on /00 it stops searching
after /00/00/00!
The problem always occurs when the first three directories
have the same name (eg /tt/tt/tt/tt, /mm33/mm33/mm33/mm33,
etc) and contain no files.
I obtained the latest version from the GNU source archive
(finutils-4.1) and compiled in on a Solaris machine. It
worked OK. I took the same code and compiled it under the
B19.1 CDK and it produced the same results as described
above (it didn't work).
An API error?
Cheers beers,
Ant.
