Hi Eli, You are right. It is because the invalid date format in the output of my find with -ls option. My find comes from MinGW msys 1.0.
I tried the port you suggested. It works, but not quite convenient. It can not run in this way: "find . -name *foo*". The find port in this package works better for me: http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ Thank you very much.
