RE: find not finding everything?

Hmmm....now I'm not getting a duplication of the error...
But i've seen updatedb terminate, *seemingly*, prematurely with a
message:
/usr/bin/find: . changed during execution of /usr/bin/find

I don't quite know what that means...

but say I locate updatedb, I get:

law> locate updatedb
/bin/updatedb
/usr/bin/updatedb
/usr/man/man1/updatedb.1
C:\/Documents and Settings/law/.backups/updatedb.bak
C:\/WINDOWS/Tasks/updatedb.job

Now this is likely what I would want -- but it's not the way I would
expect the program to work!

My start dirs are "C:\\" "/".

So why don't I see:
 C:\/root/bin/updatedb
*and*
/bin/updatedb

?

And this is a bit odd:

# -- finding under root finds the cyg files, but I get that strange
	error message.
law> find C:\\root -name find.exe
C:\root/bin/find.exe
C:\root/usr/bin/find.exe
find: . changed during execution of find

#but finding from C:\\ doesn't find the cygwin files...

law> find C:\\ -name find.exe
C:\/WINDOWS/system32/dllcache/find.exe
C:\/WINDOWS/system32/find.exe


(sorry for long response lag time...too many plates to juggle)
