This is a bug in Cygwin. It misses to set a certain flag for the
/proc/registry{32,64} directory itself.

This one appears to be a bug in find. It looks like it's using its own
version of the fts(3) functions. AFAICS, what happens is that find uses
fstatat(fd = "/proc/$PID/fd", name="6") in the first place. This
returns with ENOENT since the descriptor 6 disappeared in the meantime.
That should be fine for find, but for some reason the next what happens
is that it calls lstat("6"). The problem here is that the current
working directory is /proc, which does not contain a file called "6" and
that in turn results in the assertion.
Eric, could you have a look into that, please?
