NTFS Junction point: yes.  I used the builtin windowns tool "mountvol" 
to mount the disk in an empty directory.  It's technically mounted as 
"C:\.timemachine\3".

Output from "ls -l"
$ /bin/ls -l

I do not set the CYGWIN environmental variable when running find.

I noticed something of interest, if I run "find", then it only descends 
into the "ATI" directory.  After exhausting every file/dir under ATI, it 
terminates.  But, if I run "find -maxdepth 2", it shows all correct 
output (it correctly enters all top-level and 2nd level directories -- 
it does NOT stop after leaving ATI).

Also, ls -R works just fine (showing all 100,000 files).

I've attached the strace output from find (compressed because it was > 
1Meg).

I tried different maxdepth settings, they all worked up until 6, then 
they fail as find exits the ATI directory.
