problem with find in newly Updated: findutils-4.5.9-2

When I updated the findutils package to 4.5.9-2, find no longer works. It returns nothing when run. Not even `/bin/find --help` or `/bin/find -version` return anything. cygcheck -s shows the new findutils as 4.5.9-2 When I roll back to 4.5.8-1, all the above work as expected. Didn't see any m

Re: Wrong message 'Pattern not found'

when I call 'man grep' in Cygwin 1.7.1 and try to search the pattern -P, which is really available, with '/-P', the wrong message 'Pattern not found (press RETURN)' appeared. This behaviour only occurs with Cygwin and only on a certain computer. It works well with Cygwin on another computer.
