No one had the inclination to check it out, actually.  I was bored
yesterday, and I'd just been working in the particular part of the code
that was broken, so I looked into it.

This such fundamental bug is astonishing:
How many tools sitting upon correct work of find!
... And no one has told about here for so long?

Over a year ago in "de.alt.comp.cygwin+co"
i wanted to discuss this bug. But no one respondet.
Thinking me was the only one, i built my own updatedb
like "cmd /c dir /S/B/A C:|sed -e's#\(.\):#/\1#'|tr \\ /"

... need to have more FAITH to tell about in this place!
