Follow-up Comment #2:
This is not a bug in find, but a limitation of cygwin and your current
permissions for the root drive; the cygwin list archives already detail
several people who have dealt with poor root drive permissions. Also, you
mention 4.2.32, which implies you built findutils yourself; while cygwin
currently ships with find 4.3.13 prebuilt and with any necessary
cygwin-specific patches folded in as part of the official cygwin distribution
- I highly recommend using the cygwin port of findutils rather than rolling
your own. One of the differences here is that 4.3.x uses fts() rather than a
home-grown traversal algorithm, which may perform better given poor
permissions on the root drive. At any rate, if this is still a problem for
you, you should contact <cygwin AT cygwin DOT com>, since it is not an
upstream bug.
One last point - you mentioned using:
find $PWD -name "*.bat"
That is quoted incorrectly. You should get in the habit of using one of the
following equivalent actions (the first two are required by POSIX, the last is
a GNU extension):
find "$PWD" -name "*.bat"
find . -name "*.bat"
find -name "*.bat"
