c:/dev, find

[Egerton, Jim]

Congrats on getting 1.7.1 out the door - not sure if 3 gold stars is enough!

I have noticed one odd thing.   For historical reasons we (ducking now) install cygwin in /.    The bash postinstall script has:

DEVDIR="$(cygpath -au "C:/$(cygpath -am /dev/)" | sed 's|/c/\(.\):/|/\1/|')"
mkdir -p "$DEVDIR" || result=1

which creates:

C:/dev

This breaks find:

find -D search / -name foo
...
assertion "ent->fts_info == FTS_NSOK || state.type != 0" failed: file "/usr/src/findutils-4.5.4-1/src/findutils-4.5.4/find/ftsfind.c", line 475, function: consider_visiting
Aborted (core dumped)

cheers,
jim
