Problem: find not traversing /cygdrive/X properly?

I tried the lastest snapshot cygwin.dll - no changes - find still failed.
So, I bit the bullet and re-installed my Cygwin installation. Same
problem: I can't do a 'find' from a top-level /cygdrive/X directory (and
it seems to affect ONLY 'find' when searching from the top-level
/cygdrive/X mount point).
When I do a 'find' command (in bash or tcsh):
>tka-16:/cygdrive/p> find /cygdrive/c -iname cdplayer.ini
>find: .: No such file or directory
>find: /cygdrive/c/.backupSettings: No such file or directory
>find: /cygdrive/c/AUTOEXEC.BAT: No such file or directory
>find: /cygdrive/c/boot.ini: No such file or directory
>find: /cygdrive/c/CONFIG.SYS: No such file or directory
>find: /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings: No such file or directory
>find: /cygdrive/c/IO.SYS: No such file or directory
>find: /cygdrive/c/Log.txt: No such file or directory
>find: /cygdrive/c/MSDOS.SYS: No such file or directory
>find: /cygdrive/c/NTDETECT.COM: No such file or directory
>find: /cygdrive/c/ntldr: No such file or directory
>find: /cygdrive/c/PRIOR_SYSTEM: No such file or directory
>find: /cygdrive/c/Program Files: No such file or directory
>find: /cygdrive/c/RECYCLER: No such file or directory
>find: /cygdrive/c/System Volume Information: No such file or directory
>find: /cygdrive/c/Temp: No such file or directory
>find: /cygdrive/c/tomsteady.ini: No such file or directory
>find: /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS: No such file or directory
>find: /cygdrive/c/xPos.txt: No such file or directory
If I search a specific directory from the /cygdrive/X directory, it works:
>tka-16:/cygdrive/p> find /cygdrive/c/windows -iname cdplayer.ini
>/cygdrive/c/windows/CDPLAYER.INI
If I do 'find' on the "C:/" directory it works:
>tka-16:/cygdrive/p> find C:/ -iname cdplayer.ini
>C:/WINDOWS/CDPLAYER.INI
What's interesting is that if I do a 'find' on "/cygdrive/c/.", it also works!
>tka-16:/cygdrive/p> find /cygdrive/c/. -iname cdplayer.ini
>/cygdrive/c/./WINDOWS/CDPLAYER.INI
Does this clarify the problem or give more clues as to what might be going
on? Is anyone else having this problem?
