Behaviour of 'find' under 'bash'

[Song Ken Vern-E11804 <E11804 at motorola dot com>]

Hi, 

The find command seems to be behaving differently depending on the content of the current directory. 

drwxr-xr-x+   4 Administ ????????     4096 May 12 08:41 ./
drwxr-xr-x+  12 Administ ????????     8192 May  6 17:02 ../
drwxr-xr-x+   2 Administ ????????     8192 May 11 14:06 Code/
drwxr-xr-x+   4 Administ ????????        0 Mar 24 10:22 XML/
-rwxr-xr-x+   1 Administ ????????    55022 Apr 20 11:00 XMLParser-rik.java*
-rw-------    1 E11804   mkgroup-    28367 May 12 08:41 cygcheck.out

When I issue a : - 

08:43$ find ./ -name *.java
./XMLParser-rik.java

It does not seem to go into the subdirectories. 

But when I issue a :- 

08:43$ find ./ -name \*.java
./Code/ReadFile.java
./Code/XMLParser-a.java
./Code/XMLParser-bak.java
./Code/XMLParser.java
./XMLParser-rik.java

It seems like the the shell is substituting '*' with the filename in the current directory. 

However, when the current directory does not have a file that matches the pattern, then find seem to recursively search the subdirectory. 

08:43$ find ./ -name *.txt  
./Code/config.txt
./Code/English_Std.txt
./Code/issues.txt
./Code/log-MainMenu.txt
./Code/log-Test.txt
./Code/Readme.txt
./Code/Readme1.txt

Is this supposed to be the correct behaviour? 
Because I have another cygwin installation in WinXP which shows a different behaviour. The shell does not substitute the filename when using 'find ./ -name *.txt'

The version used is
