fileutils is irrelevent because the recursion code was overhauled (the bds fts library is used). My local build of coreutils gives me problems for chgrp -R, I'm assuming there are problems with other commands:
[...]
mark@althor ~/src/coreutils/coreutils-5.2.0/.build/src
$ chgrp.exe -R None d


mark@althor ~/src/coreutils/coreutils-5.2.0/.build/src
$ ./chgrp.exe -R None d
./chgrp: `d': No such file or directory

That only happens on the second call?



$ ./chgrp.exe --version
chgrp (coreutils) 5.2.0

Hmm, my coretutils is somewhat older, version 5.0. The code review must have happened between 5.0 and 5.2.

What's the actual reason that that happens?


Looks like a getopt "problem" to me.

Hmm. Maybe if we wait long enough a snapshot will solve the problem!

As reported here http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-03/msg01368.html a snapshot does fix the problem.



So, Corinna just relax.
