Cool.  Thanks for your (and cgf's) quick work to all the bug reports I
seem to generate!  I've verified that the latest snapshot lets find work
in /proc/registry, whether with the current cygwin snapshot, or with the
CVS version using gnulib's fts().  (Even though cygwin just added fts to
the snapshots, find still uses the gnulib version instead because it
claims "the GNU libc and NetBSD versions have bugs and/or unnecessary
limitations.")
