bug#14292: 24.3.50; `FIND: Parameter format not correct'

[Drew Adams]

1. emacs -Q
 
2. Load library cygwin-mount.el then library setup-cygwin.el, from here:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/?action=elisp-area;context=0
 
In a directory with some files having names matching aaa*:
 
M-x find-name-dired
 
Accept the default directory (current).
Enter aaa* for the file-name pattern.
 
I get the error of the Subject line.
 
Same thing if I just enter commands like this in an Emacs `shell' buffer:
 
> find . \( -iname aaa\* \) -exec ls -ld \{\} \;
FIND: Parameter format not correct
> find . \( -iname aaa\* \) -ls
FIND: Parameter format not correct
 
What am I missing?  If I type exactly the same command in a Cywin
terminal (outside Emacs), it works fine.  My $SHELL is /bin/bash in both
cases (inside and outside Emacs).  Dunno whether there is an Emacs bug
here.  Help appreciated.

You are getting find.exe from the Windows's system32 directory, which
is an incompatible program.  Rearrange your PATH so that find.exe you
want is found first.

Thanks, Eli.  I will close the bug.
