Problem: find not traversing /cygdrive/X properly?

Sorry for the private e-mail earlier... my e-mailer (Eudora) understands
"Reply-To:" but apparently not "Mail-Followup-To:". :-(
Anyway, mount -m returns the following (and the cygdrive-prefix looks good
to me):
tka-16:/cygdrive> mount -m
mount -f -s -b "d:/cygwin/bin" "/usr/bin"
mount -f -s -b "d:/cygwin/lib" "/usr/lib"
mount -f -s -b "d:/cygwin" "/"
mount -s -t --change-cygdrive-prefix "/cygdrive"
I then took your suggestion and downloaded the snapshot version of
cygwin1.dll, and rebooted:
tka-16:/cygdrive/c> uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 tka-16 1.5.19s(0.138/4/2) 20051013 22:16:34 i686 unknown
unknown Cygwin
But the problem remains...
Is the part where the path is "normalized" (from the earlier strace
listing) - when the drive letter goes missing from the
/cygdrive/.../filename path - is that normalization done in the cygwin1.dll
code or in the "find" application code?
