Hi Eli,
You are right. It is because the invalid date format in the output of my
find with -ls option. My find comes from MinGW msys 1.0.
I tried the port you suggested. It works, but not quite convenient. It can
not run in this way: "find . -name *foo*".
The find port in this package works better for me:
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/
Thank you very much.
