If I do $ find /usr -iname "something", after a bit of chewing on it I get
" find: ./.. changed during execution of find" and the command terminates.
My SWAG on this is that the find traverses one of several places where a
mount point like ''mount -f -s -b "F:/Cygwin/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts"
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts"'' then finds that the "parent" of the
current directory is not where it came from , and it is unable to pop
its way back up the tree.
I rather doubt this is the Posix behavior.
