Since this problem appears to be the result of a bug in Windows, and I
don't use my floppy too much, I've come up with a Windows-level hack
that makes the problem more tolerable for me on Windows 98 until the
proper Cygwin solution is found. This "works" for both find and df.
Add this line somewhere above where bash is called in CYGWIN.BAT :
subst a: c:
When I really want to use the floppy:
subst a: /d
[use the floppy]
subst a: c:
This assumes that c:\windows\command is in my path.
